To make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of the people we reach.
We have a strong commitment to being a responsible organisation, not just because it’s good for our business and our community but because we know it's the right thing to do. So, whether we’re reaching out to our employees, customers, partners, communities or the wider society, we do so with a clear understanding of our purpose: “To make a positive impact on the health and wellbeing of the people we reach.”
We support charities through a variety of methods. These include company wide money raising activities, cash matching of staff fund raising and by volunteering our time and skills. In 2022, BHSF employees gave their time and raised more than £13,000 for charities to raise awareness and support our charity partners. The BHSF Group donated £27,300 by gift aid during 2022.
We think it’s important to remember where we have come from. We’ll never forget our roots and the impact we have had on our local communities. That’s why we still engage with the people around us. We work with our communities, reviewing our activity regularly to make sure we’re making a real difference. We don’t just support them with money, we also donate our time and help with events and activities.
We seek to make a positive impact on the environment and the planet through initiatives and projects designed to reduce any damaging effects of our business. During 2022, we continued taking steps toward improving our impact on the environment, including:
