Give A Day to The City – Carlisle

Give a Day to the City offers local businesses the opportunity to volunteer a day (or more) to projects that need often practical support over a week each year in July. So far, our team have helped to install accessible footpaths in a nearby woodland for more people to enjoy the outside and help restore one of the beautiful garden squares in the city that had not been maintained.

Hospice at Home has been our chosen charity for some time. They have an incredible team doing much needed work in the community to support families through a difficult time of loss. They have some great fundraising campaigns which we love to support such as collecting Christmas Trees in January each year which our team has been able to help with by supplying vans and manpower. Of course, in 2020 they have needed even more support and we look forward to staying involved.
