AS the year approaches its end, local estate agents Griffin have been reflecting on one of their major community links through its Griffin Foundation Trust and what has happened during the year.

The Trust says: "This year, we've been delighted to support Woodside Academy Primary School in Grays. Here's what we've been doing:

Woodside Academy Summer Fayre

"This summer, we had the privilege of supporting the Woodside Academy Primary School Summer Fayre. Our contribution of £390 made a significant impact, and we were proud to be part of such a meaningful cause.

"The money was raised via Griffin property boards. We contributed funds for every Griffin board school parents allowed outside their homes.

"The picture above captures the heartwarming moment when Alan Webb, MD and Owner of Griffin, presented the cheque to the children of Woodside Academy. Their smiles and excitement were truly priceless.

"The money will be used to help the School with new equipment and help the PTA fund further events and activities.

Woodside Christmas Bazaar

"Earlier in December, we were at the School again, this time supporting the annual Christmas Bazaar. We've had our own Griffin stall with a 'Hook the Duck' game and the opportunity to win prizes, including special goody bags and a bottle of champagne. We managed to raise £290 for the School, and we're thrilled that this money will go towards much-needed School initiatives for 2025 and beyond.

Keeping the children safe: a joint effort

"Child safety has always been a top priority for the Woodside community, especially during busy times like school drop-offs, pick-ups, and special events when parking around the School can become chaotic.

"To address this concern and remind drivers about safe parking practices, the School and PTA recently planned to install clear and effective signage around the car park and nearby roads.

"We are proud that Griffin sponsored these signs to create a safer environment for the children. Together, we're making a difference in keeping our community safe and secure.

The Woodside-Griffin referral scheme

"This year we were pleased to announce a fantastic new referral scheme that benefits schools, parent-teacher associations, and pupils alike. Woodside Academy signed up for the scheme and was given an exclusive page on the Griffin website. Whenever someone from the Woodside Academy community refers Griffin to friends, family, or colleagues via the unique form on the website, the School receives 10% of the transaction fee from every property transaction completed because of the referral.

"If you'd like to help raise money for Woodside and you know someone looking to buy, sell, rent or let a property, refer them to Griffin via this page."
