Snickers Workwear has announced a new charity partnership with Band of Builders, reinforcing its commitment to supporting people working across the UK construction industry.

The partnership will see the two organisations collaborate on a range of fundraising and awareness initiatives, while Snickers Workwear will also supply free workwear to hundreds of Band of Builders volunteers undertaking charitable projects across the country.

Band of Builders provides practical, financial and wellbeing support to members of the construction industry and their families facing illness, injury or other life-changing circumstances. Through its nationwide volunteer network, the charity delivers projects and assistance designed to make a lasting difference to those in need.

The collaboration also aims to raise awareness of the challenges affecting tradespeople, both on and off site, while highlighting the importance of supporting the industry’s workforce.

Ben Stacey, UK Sales Manager at Snickers Workwear, said: “The construction industry is built on teamwork, resilience and looking out for one another. Band of Builders embodies those values every day through the incredible support it provides to people facing difficult circumstances. We are proud to name Band of Builders as our chosen charity and look forward to working together on a range of initiatives that will make a real difference to construction workers and their families.”

Gavin Crane, CEO of Band of Builders, added: “We are incredibly proud to be partnering with Snickers Workwear, a brand that is trusted and respected by construction workers across the UK. Our mission is to ensure people don’t have to face their challenges alone through practical projects, financial assistance and wellbeing support.”

City Electrical Factors (CEF) has announced a new charity partnership with WellChild to support children with complex medical needs and their families through fundraising, volunteering and practical community projects.

The partnership will see CEF support WellChild’s programmes, including Helping Hands, which transforms outdoor spaces into safe and accessible environments for children and their families. CEF volunteers have already completed three Helping Hands projects, with further transformations planned across the UK this year.

Alongside volunteering, CEF team members will raise funds to support WellChild’s wider services, including the Better at Home programme, which helps children leave hospital sooner and receive care safely at home by providing specialist training and support for parents and carers.

One recent Helping Hands project enabled two brothers who use wheelchairs to safely access their garden for the first time, following a transformation completed by CEF volunteers.

Connor Dalton, Director of Sustainability, Health & Safety at CEF, said: “We’re proud to support WellChild and the incredible work they do for seriously ill children and their families across the UK.

Giving back to our communities is part of who we are, and partnering with WellChild allows us to contribute with real and lasting impact.”

Matt James, CEO at WellChild, said: “We are excited to begin this partnership with CEF.

“Our shared values, commitment and passion will have a positive impact on the lives of children and families across the UK, helping to create a lasting legacy of care for years to come.”

The partnership was selected following feedback from CEF team members and forms part of the company’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities as it celebrates 75 years in business.
