As a wise man once said, “It’s Chriiistmaaass!!” And this year, we’re celebrating through our ‘12 Days of Clear Community Christmas.’
Throughout the festive season, we will be filling up our advent calendar with community-orientated good-deeds. From attending and supporting local charity events, to directly giving back to our local community – we’ll have a treat behind every door.
Be sure to keep checking back to keep-up with our most recent yuletide activities.
To make sure our community-spirit is felt far and wide, we took part in this year's 'Operation Christmas Child.' Members of our team each took home a box (or two) to fill with toys and much-needed hygiene products for it to be sent onto children in need around the world. The only problem we had was trying to fit everything in the boxes!
Thinks it's too early to get the tree up? Not when we've got a present to put under it already. This year we upgraded Real Christmas Tree's ecommerce site from Magento 1 to 2, well in time for the festive season. Take a look at the site via our case study and use discount code XMAS2019 to get 15% off your lights and decorations this year!
Richard, Phoebe and Annabel joined a group walk around the Quarry to raise money and awareness for local charity, Hope House. Holding lanterns on a dry, but dark, Saturday evening we held a light for the children that have passed and their families. The event with stalls, guided walkers and Frozen playlist was a beautiful way to remember the children and support the families.
You shall pass! Jess and Phoebe bared the cold on Kingsland bridge to pay for people's tolls to support the community right outside our offices.
The Clear team grouped together this week to donate food to The Shrewsbury Ark to help support those living on the streets in Shrewsbury. Jess, John and Jason delivered tea bags, tinned goods and plenty of pasta! We have helped The Shrewsbury Ark in the past.
Multiple members of the Clear team took to the streets of Shrewsbury armed with litter pickers to help maintain the immaculate state of our town.
Armed with our trusty Shrewsbury Cups, a flask, hot chocolate powder and squirty cream, Lewis, Katie and Jess handed out hot chocolates to the homeless on the streets of Shrewsbury.

Unsurprisingly, we had more than a few volunteers wanting to visit Grinshill Animal Rescue. They're a family-run charity that takes in cats and dogs with the aim to safely rehome them.
After dropping off some food supplies and giving all the dogs a good fussing, Chris, Phoebe, Emer, Jason and Katie took some lucky dogs on an early morning walk. The only problem was dragging Chris away from Woody!
It's Friday 13th… but what could go wrong when we're sat in our Christmas jumpers?
We’ve got our comfortable, funny and all singing and all dancing Christmas jumpers on to raise money for Save the Children.
We grouped together to rummage through the house to donate clothes, books, DVDs, toys and more to donate to the British Heart Foundation. The money raised from all donations goes towards researching cures and treatments for heart and circulatory disease.
It's not just people and the environment we help in the community – we’ve also done our bit for local wildlife. We built a small insect and bee house and put out some bird feeders to help them through the winter.
Kev and James put on their finest Santa outfit to take part in the Santa Dash held on Sunday, ready and raring to run 5km for Leukaemia Care. Despite the works Christmas party being just a few days earlier, they made great times.

Hope everyone’s OK out there. As a digital agency, we’re lucky that the virus hasn’t affected us too much. To protect our staff, everyone is working remotely, and all project work is carrying on as normal. It’s possible there could be some delays here and there though, particularly if team members fall ill. We’ll keep you posted. All we ask is that you email rather than call if possible, as we have fewer people on the phones at the moment.
Stay safe, and see you soon :)
