Supporting Communities
Through Our People
Our approach to charity and community support is built around our people.
We recognise our employees are closely connected to the communities they are part of, and actively support causes that matter to them.
A People-Led Approach to Giving
We provide a flexible framework that enables employees to champion causes they care about. Whether it’s a local sports club, community group, charity, or personal fundraising effort, employees can apply for support through our internal Charity and Community initiative.
Finding What
Matters Most
Our approach reflects the diversity of interests across the business, with support extending from local grassroots initiatives through to national charities, depending on what matters most to our people.
When people are able to support causes that genuinely matter to them, it makes a real difference. Whether it’s a local initiative or a national charity, that personal connection helps create more meaningful and lasting impact in the communities we’re part of.

How We Support Communities
Our support takes many forms, allowing us to respond to different needs and maximise impact:
Employee-Led Fundraising and Events
We back employee fundraising efforts, including organised challenges, awareness days, and national campaigns.
Community Engagement Activities
We support initiatives that promote safety, education, and awareness, including engaging in community events.
Enabling Everyday Giving
We offer simple ways for employees to give regularly and make a difference over time.
Payroll Giving
Our Give As You Earn scheme lets employees donate directly from their salary, pre-tax, meaning charities receive more from every contribution.
Employee Engagement and Reward Initiatives
Through our employee engagement platform, colleagues can earn rewards through wellbeing and activity challenges.
Who Do We Support?
Our charity and community support spans a wide range of causes, reflecting the diversity of interests and passions across our workforce.
These include:
- Local food banks and community support groups
- Youth and grassroots sports clubs
- Mental health and wellbeing initiatives
- Medical research and emergency services charities
- Environmental and sustainability-focused projects
- Animal welfare and rescues
Small Actions,
Big Impact
We believe that small actions, when multiplied across our business, can make a meaningful difference. By giving our people the tools and support to contribute, we continue to build stronger communities while creating a positive, lasting impact beyond our operations.
