Alongside our supply chain partners C&D Mechanical and Ventorex, we took part in a dedicated day of volunteering at Emmaus Salford, a charity supporting people experiencing homelessness through accommodation, training and development within a supportive community environment.

Emmaus Salford provides a home for 23 people, offering personalised support that helps individuals build skills, confidence and purpose. Contributing to the wider community forms a central part of the charity’s ethos and long term impact.

As part of the volunteering day, colleagues learned more about the charity’s work and the vital support it provides to the local community. Guided by Groundwork Greater Manchester, the team helped prepare the community garden for spring by turning over soil ready for planting. Volunteers also carried out litter picking in the surrounding area, helping to create a welcoming and uplifting environment for residents and visitors alike.

This activity demonstrates the value of partnership led volunteering in supporting meaningful local initiatives and reflects our ongoing We build strong, collaborative relationships with our supply chain partners to deliver meaningful social value at every stage of delivery. By working closely together, we strengthen partnerships, increase shared impact, and promote responsible business practices across our sector.
