At this time of year, you normally receive a Christmas card from us here at SalfTrans. But this year, we have decided to do something a little bit different.

Christmas is a time for being with friends and family. Most of us are fortunate to have friends and family around us. But we are conscious that some people are not so lucky.

So this year, instead of sending out Christmas cards, our staff decided that we would like to use the money that we normally spend on Christmas greetings to make a donation to an appropriate charity.

The charity that we have chosen to support this year is The Wellspring, a charity based close to our office that provides practical support for homeless people. The Wellspring will be providing a special Christmas meal and warm clothing to homeless people living in the Stockport area, and will bring them some Christmas cheer. You can find out more about The Wellspring on their website at http://www.thewellspring.ik.com

The entire team at SalfTrans would like to wish you a merry Christmas, and our very best wishes for 2008.
