“Each year we’ve been doing the Ray White Christmas giving tree in conjunction with the Salvation Army who distribute the gifts to disadvantaged children in the area,” Ray White sales consultant and event organiser Vinny Cannon said. 

“We have a tree in the office where people can drop in a present for a boy or girl and label the age group it will suit.” 

Staff will also hold a stall outside Westpac Bank on Junction Street on Thursday, December 8 from 9.30am to 1.30pm.

“We will be handing out ‘a little Ray of giving’ pamphlets and it will also serve as a drop off point for gifts.

“Yesterday people donated money, which we used to buy toys and gifts with.”
