Zimmer Biomet Christmas market delight for Action for Children

Staff from Zimmer Biomet have put on a traditional Christmas market in Bridgend helping raise over £300 for its charity partner, Action for Children.

Parents from Action for Children Bridgend Families First Parenting service made Christmas stocking fillers to sell at the event and many presents were placed under the tree from Zimmer Biomet staff for all children and families who access the Brackla Family Centre for Parenting, Flying Start Nursery Settings and Young Carers.

Our team members really enjoyed the chance to interact with the charity and were thrilled to have the opportunity to buy gifts for such a great cause.
