Getting hands-on with volunteering

At BCHS, we always strive to diversify our engagement with charities and local community causes. In addition to Emmaus, BCHS commit to raising funds and helping charities, businesses, and councils within our local branch areas. In 2022, our branches supported Place2Place, Macmillan Cancer Support, The Hygiene Bank, and Cancer Research with fundraising activities and product donations.

Every employee has one day's paid volunteering leave to support a cause of the choice; this could be spending a day with Emmaus, delivering conservation work or helping their local school. Through our employees, we can give back over 39000 hours of volunteering each year. We supported various causes this year, including Ukraine relief efforts, Dartford Health School, Butterwick Hospice, and a charity football match.

Getting hands-on with volunteering

Collaboration is one of the key values we share at BCHS, we work together, succeed together and celebrate together. We channel this into all our charity and community volunteering efforts.

Butterwick Hospice Project 2023

Last year, the BCHS Tyne & Wear branch volunteered at Butterwick Hospice with support from suppliers, including Essity, 2Pure, and Kimberley-Clark. The branch utilised their volunteering days collectively, committing a week of their time to transform the outdoor areas used by inpatients at Butterwick Hospice. There were five gardens and a courtyard that needed some TLC following COVID-19. Along with the suppliers, the Tyne & Wear branch bought and donated plants, decorative features, lighting, tools, and a lawnmower to the hospice for future use.
