RPC elves getting into the festive spirit!

RPC volunteers from across the business got stuck into some Toy Appeal volunteering before Christmas. They were asked some probing questions by ELBA’s Director of Account Management, Andrea Rannard-Lambert:

Chantel Benefield, Secretary, Commercial Disputes:

– What would be your elf name? Flirty Snowbells.

– Which toy has impressed you? I have my eye on the skateboard as I would like to learn. I already cycle and have had a full motorcycle licence for 25 years, so a skateboard would be good.

– What have you gained from today? When I read the list requesting toys for 50 boys aged 11-16 it makes me emotional thinking about all of those children who are without. As a mother of a son, this tears at my heartstrings to think of children not receiving a gift.

Sunita Devi, Engagement and Wellbeing Consultant at RPC:

– What would be your elf name? Peaceful Warrior (I’m a yogee!).

– Which toy has impressed you? The Barbie. Takes me back to my childhood.

– What’s on your Christmas gift list this year? A coffee machine, but I am more likely to receive a jar of instant coffee instead.

– What have you gained from today I really enjoyed helping out today and giving up my time.  I love the fact we will have lots of happy children at Christmas.

Amelia Payne, Associate in Commercial Disputes:

– What would be your elf name? Mimii von Tingle.

– Which toy has impressed you? Spy Pen and note book.

– What’s on your Christmas gift list this year? A Scandinavian throw for the sofa, which I am likely to receive.

– What have you gained from today? Seeing the volume of effort and the number of donations is impressive. A real success.

Chloe Rowan, Graduate Resourcing Assistant:

– What would be your elf name? Chlo-Row McTingles.

– Which toy has impressed you? Play-Doh.

– What’s on your Christmas gift list this year? Nectarine scented candle.

– What have you gained from today? Imagining where these gifts are going and faces of the children opening them is really motivating.
