Bathgate supports The Hive “Believe 2024” Campaign 

Team members from Bathgate Business Finance helped to “pass on the magic” this week by making a £350 donation to The Hive’s Believe in Christmas 2024 campaign and joining other supporters for a Christmas wrapping marathon.

Presents wrapped at the festive volunteering session will be distributed to young people in Wirral whose families are facing a tough winter and may not be able to afford gifts or even the basic household essentials.

The Hive is Wirral’s youth zone and for many young people a safe, warm sanctuary where they can dare to dream. The Believe in Christmas 2024 Campaign aims to help parents who are despairing that they can’t afford presents for their children and is asking businesses and individuals to help out by donating money, goods or time.

Gordon Andrews, MD at Bathgate Business Finance said: “We had such a fantastic day at The Hive’s inaugural volunteering day earlier this year that we were excited to return to support its Christmas campaign.

“This Christmas, one in three children will be living in poverty in some parts of the Wirral meaning they may go without a present, food or a warm bed. We are proud to support an organisation that does everything in its power to prevent that from happening.

“We had a fantastic morning, working hard like the elves in Father Christmas’s workshop to get all the presents wrapped. The atmosphere amongst the volunteers was very jolly indeed with festive songs, treats and endless cups of tea. Thank you again to The Hive for looking after us so well!”

As founder patrons and members of the Hive 100 Business Club, Bathgate supports the fantastic work of The Hive with an unrestricted annual donation that the organisation can use as it pleases, to address its greatest needs, as well as lending a hand when volunteering opportunities arise.
