Corporate Social Responsibility
We focus on people, places and ethical practices. We value our environmental and social inheritances and invest in making them better.
Community Development
We volunteer in the community: in school governance roles with disadvantaged children and in disadvantaged areas; in grassroots sporting activities directed to inclusion and wellbeing such as through British Cycling's Let's Ride initiative, and outdoor swimming; and in many other local community and sector activities.
Green Practices
We have migrated to fully renewable energy in our website services, and work to minimise our carbon footprint in all areas of activity. We follow a reuse, repurpose, recycle policy wherever possible.
Ethical Finance
We bank with The Co-operative Bank, one of the top-rated ethical financial institutions in the UK.
