Harnessing our Speedy Spirit

Harnessing our Speedy Spirit

From marathon relay treks from John O’Groats to Land’s End that raised over £20,000 for Teenage Cancer Trust, to local litter picking events, creating bespoke outdoor spaces for those in need, and washing cars to raise money for local charities, our communities committee have supported hundreds of local charities through donations, fundraising, and volunteering days.

Each year we also sponsor teams or sportspersons across the UK and Ireland, based on colleague nominations. Our '23 Kits for 2023' campaign sponsored 23 teams or sportspersons, based on colleague nominations. The successful athletes received funding totalling over £11,500.

Within our local communities, we provide free hire equipment to the value of around £38,000 in 2023 and support town shows, community parks and garden improvements. We participate in collecting food for food banks, providing toys for local groups, and donated £8,000 across 12 local charities as part of our Regional Christmas Community giving campaign.
