This Christmas, we wanted to do a little more for our Christmas Jumper Day. Tela is proud to work with a number of local and national charities and community organisations in supporting the work they do and helping them to make a difference to those in need. This year we aimed to positively impact those in need by donating £2,500 to 23 charitable causes and by raising awareness of all the work that they do.
Every year, our employees are committed to supporting many great causes and play a huge role in making a difference.
