Giving something back.
We believe businesses should give something back to the communities they work in. Therefore we are happy to support several charities in our area.
Essex Wildlife Trust
We're based in Essex and, contrary to popular belief, Essex has many areas of countryside offering peace and beauty, and a wide variety of wildlife. This is a benefit to everyone who lives in the county which we want to be preserved for future generation. Therefore we're happy to support Essex Wildlife Trust as a Silver Sponsor.
Essex Wildlife Trust is the county's leading conservation charity. They have 7 Visitor Centres, 87 Nature Reserves, 1 Nature Park and manage 7,250 acres of land. They educate 44,000 children and adults every year.
Carbon Neutral : Protecting the environment
We don't want our business to have a negative effect on the environment. Therefore we offset all our carbon dioxide emissions through Climate Care. We cover the miles we drive, the heating, running the computers, etc.
ClimateCare is a leader in high quality carbon offset credits. They help lower business emissions and individual carbon footprints through credible, verified carbon reduction projects.
Guide Dogs for The Blind
In December 2009 we started sponsoring Otis through his 18 months training to be a guide dog Guide Dogs for the Blind Association.
Otis, a black Labrador, is now puppy-walking. He’s learning to walk properly on his lead and basic commands. He’s also visiting different environments with his puppy walker so that he learns to feel confident in all situations.
George and Janice, his puppy-walkers, say Otis is now very confident on his lead and has learnt all his basic commands : ’sit’, ’stay’, ‘wait’ and ‘down’.
