It's that time of year and The Estate Agency Foundation are once again rallying round and asking estate agents and members of the public across the country to down tools for the annual charity coffee morning.

Joining forces as an industry, The Estate Agency Foundation (EAF) brings together estate agents to help eliminate the causes of homelessness. Through activities and events The EAF raises funds to support charities and projects which for 2012 include Shelter, St Mungo's and Broadway.

Reeds Rains will be taking part in The EAF coffee morning hosted next week and would like to invite along all members of the public as well as valued customers past and present.

Supporting Reeds Rains and The Estate Agency Foundation Coffee Morning couldn't be simpler... all you need to do is pop in to your local branch on the advertised day for a cup of coffee and make a small donation. Whether it is 50p or a £1 all funds go directly to help the good cause of The EAF nominated charities and your support can make a real difference. Some branches will also be offering raffle tickets, delicious homemade cakes, biscuits and snacks as well as other goodies to tempt you in.
