Social Impact and Wider Community Benefit

We believe in giving back to the communities where we live and work. Our social contributions aim to create inclusive, vibrant, and healthy communities both locally and globally. Initiatives include:

Community Donations and Infrastructure Support

  • Funding and building a timber teaching shelter at Middleton Community Primary School to offer both sun shade and rain protection for outdoor learning
  • Supporting the creation of the new Wirksworth Skatepark, providing a safe, durable, and inclusive space for local skaters and BMX riders

Ongoing Charitable Support

  • We are proud to support the following two main charities with annual donations: WaterAid and AquaBox, helping ensure access to clean water and emergency support in disaster-affected areas.

Cultural and Community Events

  • Active involvement in local Wirksworth events such as the Wirksworth Festival, Wirksworth Carnival, and Wirksworth Wizarding Day, all of which celebrate community, creativity, and tradition
  • Encouraging staff engagement in these events, many of whom contribute as volunteers or organisers

Support for Health and Sport

  • Sponsorship of staff and partner-company participation in a variety of charitable and athletic events including marathons, bike rides, raft races, and golf days
  • Supporting local sports teams and youth through sponsorship of local rugby clubs near our Utilitec office locations
