We have an opportunity to make a lasting positive impact on people in our communities. Not just the ones we live and work in, but those beyond our developments too. See how we’re making a difference to lives, schools, transport, infrastructure and facilities through our charitable donations and volunteering initiative.
Social Responsibility
Serious about social responsibility
Our charitable giving
As well as making monetary donations as a Group, our people also help support charities through their own fundraising events. From scrambling and climbing our way through a 15k Tough Mudder, to a fancy dress charity carwash, our teams always go the extra mile.
Just some of the good causes we have supported
University of Manchester Sponsorship Scheme
Helping to support underprivileged students from disadvantaged backgrounds, providing them with world-class education, mentoring and academic guidance.
UKRAINE HUMANITARIAN APPEAL
Disasters Emergency Committee
Helping families fleeing the conflict by providing food, water, shelter, healthcare and protection.
The Centre for Social Justice Housing and Communities
An alliance of charities with initiatives that help to strengthen local communities, prevent homelessness and loneliness, empower families and enable affordable social housing.
Grief Encounter
Helping to support bereaved children and young people through services including one-to-one counselling, group workshops and art therapy.
Our Helping Hands initiative
Giving time is as important as giving money. Helping Hands is our volunteering initiative and enables every colleague to donate a day of their time to do good deeds in the communities in which we build. Anyone can get involved by giving a day to their favourite charity or help out at one of our many organised events throughout the year.
JUST SOME OF THE GOOD DEEDS WE HAVE PERFORMED
Preserving the Oasis at Trafford Ecology Park
12 of our volunteers teamed up with Groundwork Greater Manchester to clear overgrown vegetation and make way for reading dens, breakout areas and bug hotels for local Forest Schools to enjoy.
Cooking up a mud kitchen at Hambleton Primary School
Eight volunteers rose to the challenge of refurbishing an outdoor area, including relocating a summer house and creating a sandpit and mud kitchen for the nursery children.
Creating tranquility at Willow Wood Hospice
Our team offered to help transform the gardens into a relaxing space, including gardening in the Tranquil Garden and painting benches for the patients and their families.
