PMandM Christmas Present Appeal

PM+M - the chartered accountancy, business advisory and financial planning group - has launched its annual Christmas Present Appeal.

The aim is to make 2024 the biggest yet and the firm is hoping that as many clients, contacts, friends and people from right across the local community will donate gifts that will be passed onto vulnerable families and children in the Blackburn, Bury and Burnley areas via charities and children’s services.

 PM+M is asking that donated presents should be new, unopened and unwrapped.  They can be for children or teenagers of any age or gender, and there is no minimum value.

Gift drop offs can be made at either of PM+M’s main offices (Blackburn: New Century House, Greenbank Technology Park, Challenge Way, BB1 5QB; or Bury: First Floor, Sandringham House, Hollins Brook Park, Pilsworth Road, BL9 8RN) between 8:45am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.

PM+M has also put together an Amazon Wishlist which can be used to purchase a gift that will then be delivered direct to one of the offices. The last day to donate is Friday 13th December.

Helen Clayton, managing partner at PM+M, said: “Over the years, the Christmas Present Appeal has gone from strength to strength and we’d love to make 2024 the most successful to date.

"Last year’s response was amazing and we were able to make the festive season that bit more special for hundreds of families. No matter how big or small, any contribution will make a difference and help to put smiles on faces, creating precious memories.”
