Claire Kendall, Partner in the firm and daughter of company founder, Richard - who is this year celebrating 50 years in the sector - says hopes are high that 2020 will bring even greater benefits to local charities close to many people's hearts.
Claire helped to round off an impressive year of good deeds for the firm and its staff with the Richard Kendall
Estate Agent’s Christmas card competition, which saw children aged four to 11 from local schools design a Christmas card.
Claire visited the winner, Zara, aged 9, at her school, South Parade Primary School, to present a cheque for £500, and was particularly impressed by the youngsters.

Mitchell, apprentice at the firm's Normanton office, gave up her time to help her sister ensure the event went well. One of the biggest achievements was a remarkable 22 miles swim undertaken by Jenny Rothery of the firm’s WakefieLd office.
Jenny covered the miles during a 12-week period as part of the Aspire Channel Swim challenge.
Her efforts have helped fund grants to help people with spinal injuries enjoy a better quality of life.
“Everyone involved in raising money for such a range of charities should be proud of themselves," added Claire.
"We work hard to be a responsible and caring business when dealing with our clients, but people might not
