Our Charity
This Year’s Charity: Shropshire Wildlife Trust
“Each year, we invite our DY team to nominate charities close to their hearts. A company-wide vote follows, with the top two charities typically becoming our fundraising focus.
This year, we’re doing things differently. Instead of splitting our efforts, we’ll be supporting one charity and the overwhelming winner was Shropshire Wildlife Trust.
In 2023/24, we raised over £3,500 for each of our two chosen charities, Buddy Bag Foundation and Shrewsbury Food Hub. Our goal for 2024/25? To surpass this total!
Our CSR team is already working on exciting fundraising initiatives, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with next.”
How We've Made a Difference
From 1 May 2022 to 30 April 2024, our fundraising efforts have had a meaningful impact on our local community. We raised a total of £7,080, equally split between two fantastic charities:
The Buddy Bag Foundation
The Buddy Bag Foundation was created to support children who enter emergency care after fleeing violent situations at home. The foundation provides essential items to help restore a sense of safety and comfort during these traumatic times, making the transition into care a little easier for these children.
Shrewsbury Food Hub
Shrewsbury Food Hub is a volunteer-powered charity focused on reducing food waste to protect the environment and strengthen the local community. They collect surplus food from shops, manufacturers, and farms, redistributing it to community groups to help save money. The Hub also encourages food waste reduction at home, inspiring individuals to make a difference within their households.
Fundraising in 2021-2022
In 2021-2022, we raised £2,972, supporting:
Lingen Davies Cancer Fund
Lingen Davies Cancer Fund is dedicated to supporting cancer patients in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid-Wales. Their focus is on improving cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment, as well as supporting those living with and beyond cancer.
Shropshire MHS
Shropshire MHS is Shropshire’s local mental health charity. They provide vital services to those affected by mental and emotional distress, supporting one in four people in the county and their families.
