How do we give back to our community?

How we support our local community

To ensure that our organisation gives back to a community we have been a part of for years, we support organisations that are close to both our hearts and the communities. From the Bishop Stortford Rugby Club, local dances in Saffron Walden and a sheep called Sprout, we work closely to fund raise and support these fantastic causes.

Uttlesford Foodbank Donation

An initiative led by Holly Bond who works in our customer service team has allowed us to become a part of a donation scheme to Uttlesford Foodbank every quarter, a vital resource for so many struggling families around the country. They provide nutritionally balanced meals and support on either an emergency or long term basis.

Macmillan Cancer coffee morning

Annually we conduct a Macmillan Cancer support coffee and cake morning, where staff get their aprons out to create some delicious cakes and donate to Macmillan.

You may be wondering what does Macmillan cancer support do?

Macmillan provides services for people living with cancer at every stage of their cancer experience. They provide emotional, practical, physical, and financial support.

Our staff raised £301, which is a number that Radleys have matched.
