An engineering and manufacturing business has presented a mental wellbeing charity with a cheque for more than £15,000, raised through fundraising activities with its staff, customers and supply partners.
The HEX Group has been supporting North Staffs Mind for the last two years and has raised £15,165.98 during that time.
Events included a family and friends festival called HEXFEST, an 80s themed evening for colleagues, and a charity golf day for customers and supply partners at the JCB Golf and Country Club, in Rocester, which alone raised over £7,000.
People & Culture Director Karen Barnacle said: “As we celebrate another year of charitable contribution, we want to reflect on how far we have come as a business. We are extremely proud of all our colleagues’ efforts made to raise funds for our chosen charity, North Staffordshire Mind. And we are proud to say we are making a difference in our region by raising more than £15,000.
“A huge thank you goes out to all our colleagues, customers and supply partners who have supported the cause and whose generosity has not gone unnoticed.”
Kate Boundy, Chief Executive of North Staffs Mind, said: “We want to share our appreciation of The HEX Group and their awesome fundraising efforts over the past two years.
“It has been an incredible opportunity to work alongside them, and we have really enjoyed getting to know their amazing team. We will be forever grateful for the significant support we received which has allowed us to continue making a positive difference in the local area.”
The HEX Group staff nominate charities they would like the company to support, and people are then asked to vote from a shortlist of three.
The Hixon-based organisation has announced its new charitable partnership is with A Child of Mine, a charity in Stafford which supports bereaved parents.
Gayle Routledge, A Child of Mine Founder and CEO, said: “We’re extremely excited to work alongside The HEX Group, it’s clear they share our charitable mission and vision. We look forward to the next two years, working in partnership in all their fundraising efforts. Together we can make a difference.”
