Charity & Fundraising

Charity & Fundraising

As a family-run business, charity is at the heart of what we do.

We are proud to be able to help a range of fantastic local charities but we also believe that you can have fun whilst raising money too, which is why you'll regularly find us hosting cake sales or quiz nights to help raise money for these incredible causes. We also provide our employees with a day of paid leave each year for charitable or volunteer work.

Our chosen charity for this year is Naomi House & Jacksplace children's hospice, who provide expert care to children with life threatening illnesses, however we also work with a range of local charities. Just some of our efforts include:

Environment

Environment

We are focused on improving our energy efficiency, managing our wastage responsibly and reducing our carbon footprint.

We look to minimise our environmental impact wherever we can and are committed to minimising waste, reducing the consumption of single-use plastics, implementing good environmental practices and looking to prevent unnecessary pollution. We're trying to 'go green' where possible and are supporting The Great Big Green Week as part of our Green Initiatives.

We aim to reconnect people with their environment using education and promoting improved recycling across all our parks.

We're committed to conducting our activities and operations in line with current legislation and best environmental practice, seeking continual improvement and innovation within all our business activities. We've replaced a range of our company vehicles with electric versions, rather than diesel, as well as having received recognition for our commitment to conservation. Just some of our environmental efforts include:
