Place
Since our formation, we have recognised the role we have to play in supporting our local communities. So, we actively maintain a diverse programme of event sponsorship, fundraising initiatives, donations and volunteering.
Charity Partnerships
Across our Group, each Division identifies a designated charity partner. At SHS Sales & Marketing, our site-nominated charity is the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. The Cystic Fibrosis Trust works toward a brighter future for everyone with cystic fibrosis by funding cutting-edge research, driving up standards of care and supporting people with the condition and their loved ones.
Staff across the company organise collections for local food banks and regularly take part in volunteer initiatives within their local area, supporting future skills by working with local schools and higher education providers.
As a member of Business in the Community through the wider SHS Group, we also contribute to local business networks, forums and activities.
GroceryAid Support
We are proud supporters of GroceryAid, the industry charity that supports people who work or have worked in the grocery, provisions and off-license sectors.
We support the work of the charity through committees, events, awareness raising and engagement activities.
In 2023 we were honoured to receive a GroceryAid Gold Award in recognition of our support for the charity for the 15th year running.
Volunteering – it’s in our Spirit
Community volunteering has always been part of SHS, something we actively encourage across the business. We provide time and resources to aid employee involvement through our Give a Day volunteering scheme. We also support Business in the Community’s annual Give & Gain Day with a team from across our business taking up a community challenge.
