TaxAssist Recycling Scheme
Corporate partners TaxAssist have been running a recycling scheme throughout their 190 franchises all over the UK, recyling ink cartridges to raise funds for the charity.
At Christmas time TaxAssist's Loughborough franchise got creative and made a very special Christmas Tree to represent the recycling the franchise has been involved with. They entered the tree into the Christmas Tree Festival. What a fantastic fundraiser and thank you so much for your continued support.
