Charities which we have supported

They support research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,500 scientists, doctors and nurses. A charity close to our own hearts, our Employees have participated in the Race for Life and continue to take part in the 'Dress Pink Days' in support of Breast Cancer.

Acorns Children's Hospice, Worcestershire and Birmingham

Acorns Children’s Hospice currently cares for over 600 life-limited children from across the West Midlands and Three Counties. Acorns offer a network of care services through its three hospices in Birmingham, Walsall and Worcester. The Acorns Community Team provides support to the whole family at home, 24-hours-a-day, seven days a week. It costs Acorns £4,500 per day, per hospice, to provide these services free of charge to families, and it receives very little of its funding from the government, relying almost entirely on community donations.

CRASH brings together the expertise and help of professionals and companies from the UK construction and property industries to assist homelessness projects to reduce construction costs.

Sandwell Young Carer's, Sandwell

Through our Sandwell Decent Homes Partnership and our other contractor partners, we held an 'It's a Knockout' event in August of this year and raised over £6000 for Sandwell young Carers.

The charity does this through a package of support and a short breaks programme inclusive of offsite day trips and residential breaks. Onsite youth and play sessions and workshops, advocacy, one to one and group support is also offered.
