Charities logos on fleet vehicles

In 2018, we began featuring charities on our UK-wide fleet of repair vans, giving national and local causes’ exposure, from Land’s End to John O’Groats. All the charities have been selected by our technicians and are close to their hearts for various reasons.

Clearly Going Cleaning

A team of staff and apprentices created their own ‘Clearly Going Cleaning’ beach tidy event. More than 30 employees volunteered to visit Skegness for a day to pick up unsightly rubbish washed ashore.

The crisp packet recycling scheme

Launched by Walkers in conjunction with TerraCycle the initiative aims to minimise rubbish sent to landfill. Our empty packets were delivered to Barlow Pre School at Barlow Village Hall, Dronfield. Through the scheme the school is aiming to buy new hedgerows and wildlife habitats, including bird boxes and bug houses, to enhance the preschool’s forest school area and help teach children about the natural environment.
