Bathroom product manufacturer HiB and family support charity Home-Start UK have announced the extension of their successful partnership for the second year running.
After smashing the first-year target, HiB has supported the charity with corporate donations, volunteering and staff fundraising to raise over £25k, helping vulnerable families across the UK. Building on this success, HiB and Home-Start UK have just signed an agreement to continue the partnership for another 12 months – with HiB presenting the charity with a cheque for £20k at the beginning of August to kick-off another year.
Some of the activities that HiB has taken part in include the London half marathon, a Halloween fundraiser and other local volunteering opportunities. Next up, is the Three Peaks challenge that 10 HiB employees will be embarking on in September. The funds raised so far have the potential to make a big difference, for instance, supporting the recruitment and training of an additional 539 Home-Start volunteers. Each volunteer assists 6 families, on average, which means over 3,000 families could receive the essential support they need from HiB’s donation alone.
Robert Ginsberg, CEO of HiB, said: "We are incredibly proud of the dedication shown by our team. Our partnership with Home-Start has not only allowed us to give back to the community, but also strengthened our company culture. We are excited to continue this journey for another year and to keep making a difference to the lives of families – every contribution helps ensure that no child or family is left behind.”
Home-Start's CEO, Peter Grigg, added: "We are so proud of our partnership, the support from HiB has been phenomenal. The commitment goes beyond financial contributions; it extends to hands-on involvement and genuine care for the families we support. We are excited about the future of this partnership and the continued positive impact it will have on communities across the UK.”
