Agency sticks to its community values

A BRAND development agency based in Snitterfield has given a helping hand to a charity that supports vulnerable people in Warwickshire.

The Helping Hands Community Project has had its new logo designed free of charge by Glued. The charity works with the homeless, victims of domestic abuse and those with drug and alcohol addictions.

Volunteers collect donations of household goods, furniture, toiletries, clothing, toys and bedding to distribute to individuals and families in need.

The charity has now opened a new hub in Leamington’s Old Town called The Lighthouse, which will act as a charity shop, a drop-in centre and a space where courses will be delivered.

Glued offered their services to the cause after charity manager, Lianne Kirkman, gave a speech about Helping Hands at a business forum event in Leamington.

Glued joint owner and director, David Wilson, said: “Lianne gave a compelling speech about Helping Hands and the work it does and also spoke about some of the things the charity needs going forwards, one of which was a new logo.

“We see it as part of our corporate responsibility to give something back to the community and we were very happy to offer our help to the charity.

“Their original logo was designed in-house when the charity was first established and they have now outgrown this and were in need of something more professional to help launch their new hub.

“The new logo will make the charity more recognisable and will appeal to stakeholders. It will also give the charity a more professional look and a better platform in the public domain.”

Glued, which has been a member of the Coventry and Warwickshire Chamber of Commerce since 2014, is also a member of Supporting Stratford, which aims to assist charities in the Stratford area with discounted services or other support.
