Brickability Group PLC is committed to supporting and giving back to the communities we operate in and to support environmental projects in the UK which protect and enhance the natural world. To help us do this, we launched the Brickability Group Foundation Trust in 2022.
Our Foundation aims to inspire and enable our amazing employees to make a difference themselves. The Brickability Group family is bursting with enthusiastic individuals who have taken part in charity events and shown extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. The Foundation matches the money our employees raise, doubling the impact pound for pound.
Heel & Toe Children’s Charity – Our 2023 Charity of the Year
Heel and Toe is a children’s charity that provides support to young people with Cerebral Palsy to access beneficial therapies. Employees from Brick Services, part of the Brickability Group, inspired the Foundation Trustees to choose Heel and Toe to be the chosen charity of the Year for 2023. Mark Ward from Brick Services has a son who attends the charity and benefits from the treatments Heel & Toe provides. The Foundation are proud to be supporting this wonderful charity, a cause close to the hearts of our people.
We are delighted to, for the first time in 2023, launch two, three-year programs that align with our ESG strategy, Together For The Future. These initiatives will deliver real and lasting impact to the communities we work in and the natural environment. The new partnerships will allow us to begin delivering long term positive change and make an even greater impact. Each organisation will receive a grant of £20,000 a year for three years.
