A WOKINGHAM estate agency has raised more than £1,000 for charity thanks to a creative Christmas campaign.
For the second year running, Quarters has supported The Cowshed with its “Santa Please Stop Here!” boards.
The 25 boards, which were put up at properties across Wokingham, featured a winter theme with the message asking for the white-bearded man to pay them a visit.
For every board that was displayed, the Market Place estate agency made a donation.
“We have seen a number of estate agents do similar things but we decided to put our own twist on it to have a bit of fun,” said Nick Harris, one of the co-founders of Quarters.
“All the boards were outside current or previous clients homes and, where we could, we picked those that have got young kids.
“We wanted to link in with a local charity and we had the Cowshed mentioned favourably by several of our clients over the years.”
The boards have gone on to raise £1,140 thanks to donations from Quarters and residents who supported the cause.
The funds will be used by the Cowshed to continue supporting people of all backgrounds in a time of personal crisis.
This festive season, the charity provided more than 3,000 presents to individuals across Berkshire thanks to its Christmas Project.
