Community Activities
When John G Hogg Funeral Directors asked clients and teams to make a festive donation to Wearside Women in Need, the community answered the call, and contributors went above and beyond.
Wearside Women In Need is a specialist domestic abuse service in Sunderland established in 1983 which has provided vital support for women and children who have been impacted ever since.
John Hogg, Business Principal, said: “It is emotional to support such a vital cause and genuinely gets to me every time.
“The women, the children and the team there really appreciate everything we have for them.
“For all the years we have supported Wearside Women In Need, the staff have always emphasised how simple toiletries and presents we take for granted over Christmas means for so many people.”
John G Hogg Funeral Directors’ charitable efforts will also include a team taking part in Sunderland’s famous Boxing Day Dip, and a special Community Fund to support local charities which is due to launch in February.
Their sub-zero swim will raise money for Veterans in Crisis, Hope4All and Sunderland Mind as they look to give back to organisations who have helped families supported by John G Hogg Funeral Directors.
