The time of cheer and goodwill is upon us. Many will be returning to friends and family but some will be working, ensuring the nation has it services, some will be volunteering, assisting those in need and some will be alone this Christmas and new year !
As in previous years, Abbacas will not be sending seasonal greetings. We will put the cost of the cards and postage to better use along with our personal donations. Amongst the various charities and organisations that have recieved our support we wish to focus on two this year.
