As we approach the festive season, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the support we have received from our Clients, Suppliers and Friends of Aurora throughout the year.

As part of Aurora’s ongoing tradition, instead of sending Christmas cards and gifts, we have once again chosen to make donations to three charities, local to our Harwell office and our teams based in the North East and South West:

Helen and Douglas House, a home from home for terminally ill children and their families: https://www.helenanddouglas.org.uk/

St Oswald’s Hospice, improving the quality of life and providing care for families with cancer and other life limiting illnesses in the North East: https://www.stoswaldsuk.org/

Gables home for dogs and cats is a non-euthanasia rescue and rehoming centre that has been helping the region’s unwanted and abandoned dogs and cats in the South West: https://gables.org.uk/

We hope these contributions help spread a little warmth and kindness during this special time of year.

Aurora’s Festive Opening Times:

• Wednesday 24th December – 9 am to 3 pm
• Thursday 25th December to Thursday 1st January – Closed
• We will reopen on Friday 2nd January at 9 am

It’s been a year of change, with the departures of Glenn Hardcastle and Jill Reay.  However, we have also welcomed new faces to the Team in Claire Stephens and Birgitte Sørgulen.

We are planning for 2026 to be an even bigger year for Aurora but before that, it’s a moment to reflect and appreciate 2025 and to wish you all a joyful Christmas and a successful New Year from all of us at Aurora! 🎄
