CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Porter and Woodman have been supporting charitable organisations for many years.

The company work with a number of local charities and engage staff in their support and fundraising. 

​​

One of our most successful ventures is our regular Coffee Morning. Production is suspended, the warehouse is decorated with bunting and opened up to staff, family members and local businesses – think The Great British Bake Off in in an industrial setting.

​

A local charity is chosen and promoted, and staff will bake cakes and biscuits which are then sold with tea and coffee. At our most recent Coffee Morning, over £650 was raised for the Iyla Rose Foundation. We  have also supported Macmillan and the Mary Stevens Hospice. These events are very popular, and are held around 3 to 4 times a year.

​

One cause we are particularly proud to support is the Discover U charity, which works to help people with barriers into employment.

We supply Discover U with offcuts of wood and rejected production items which they recover and upscale, and then sell in their warehouse and shop to raise funds.

​

We have also supported the Creating Chances Trust for over 10 years – it is run by a former Director of Porter and Woodman. We allow the charity to use our facilities for meetings plus some basic administrative work.
