GIVING BACK
At Andrews Loynton & McCulla we have a strong charitable ethos and believe it is very important to support local charities and give a helping hand to communities much less fortunate than ourselves. Through the Openwork Foundation, we have been able to support Fields of Life charity in the construction of nursery and boarding school blocks in Uganda.
The need is great! The Africa people revere education...
...and the money will go to an excellent cause.
Laurence Andrews, Practice Principal
