Supporting our communities

We know how important it is to you to support each other in your communities, whether it be organising your own activities, celebrating holidays, or raising money for charity close to your heart. 

We do the same as an organisation – the people that work for us support each other and others, too. It is a value we are really proud of. One of our colleagues who helps to schedule your repairs, called Tauseef, recently organised a fantastic food fundraiser! 

He raised £1,520 to provide aid and food to the people caught up in the conflict in Gaza. After an application to the Group’s Charity Fund, a further £1,000 was donated through the Disaster Emergency Committee. 

Tauseef told us: “I was really pleased how it not only raised money, but it also raised more awareness as well. “I was initially a bit scared and cautious because of the topic, but everyone’s support and kind words really spurred me on. 

“In my eyes it’s not about the colour of people’s skin, or anyone’s religion, I just felt I needed to help.” 

We have lots of colleagues who volunteer or fundraise to support our communities or other causes they care about. 

We always love to hear about your fundraisers or voluntary work that helps others, so do let us know!
