This article relates to a previous story, read here.
You may remember our article about the pledge to fill up and deliver shoe boxes to struggling families in Romania. The Link Romania team visited schools, kindergartens, families, old people, communities living in old container blocks, derelict buildings and many other places. The shoeboxes filled with gifts for all of the family were received with wonder and delight and many questions of why? The experience for the team was humbling and you can read the full gift stop document here.
For more information and to start your own appeal – please visit the Link Romania site here.

The nominees for the Barbon BOSCAs attended a star studded night at Madam Tussauds on Friday where they were treated to a fabulous night of glitz and glamour and the chance to hang out with the Hollywood lovelies (albeit they were wax!) The night held a variety of entertainment starting off with a private tour, followed by a 4D film experience, a champagne reception and then a three course dinner with live acts from our Barbon’s Got Talent entrants, followed by the Awards ceremony.
We are very pleased to congratulate:
Rachel Elliot of Cadogan Keelan Westall, Winner of Gold Service Medal
A great night was had by all and we can’t wait for next year!

Rather than spend additional hours writing Christmas cards this year Michelle, Rachel and Val bought the CKW team a Christmas pig. Purchased from the good gifts catalogue, a needy family in Africa can now provide for their family and cover school fees. A pole to name the pig went round and the best suggestions to date are Apple Sauce, Scratchings, Truffles or Portia!
Did you know? A pig can produce 20-24 piglets a year, and within two years can produce over 2,500 descendants! (Bacon all round!)

Festivities filled the office as the team unwrapped their Secret Santa’s this morning. This year they put a twist on their gifts by choosing a theme alongside their names; the categories ranged from, Squeezy, Bouncy, Colourful, Tasty, Fluffy, Strong, Soft, Fruity, Long, Robust, Cubed, Classy, Smelly, Sleepy, Happy, Pleasure, Drink, Read, Play, Pink, Dainty, Crafty, Sporty, Fast, Vibrating, Relaxing & Hairy.
People were creative with their selections; they had a “vibrating” HEX bug, some extreme strength coffee for “strong”, a “Happy” grow your own sunflower and juggling balls for “Bouncy” a good giggle was had by all!
Cadogan Keelan Westall have taken part in various activities through out the year to help raise money for Step by Step (add link please) - 2 bake sales, donations, filing cabinet sales, fancy dress and for the brave, a sky dive, have resulted in a total of £1,668.18 being raised.
More money was raised later in the year for Children in Need. Another bake sale was held in November which was a hit with all the team, we had a selection of home-made cakes, sausage rolls and cheese straws made by our very own staff and were all very much appreciated by the team. We raised a grand total of £110.40.
Well done guys.
