Wales’ leading facilities management company donates over £5000 for the second year to charities across South Wales in time for Christmas.
Based in Bridgend, Riverside delivers mechanical, electrical and compliance services for businesses across South Wales and the rest of the UK. Each year, the team reach out to the community to nominate charities for their annual Christmas giving initiative.
Last year, Riverside donated over £5000 to Pet Foodbank Service, Y Bont Nursery, Bridgend Young Carers and Banc Bwyd Port Talbot Food Bank.
This year, Riverside are commited to matching their fundraising efforts, donating another £5000 to the following charities:
Over the last few weeks, the team have been preparing hundreds of selection boxes, vouchers, dog food, children’s toys, food and other items to support the people’s chosen charities.
Rachel Andrews, Owner of Fostering Together Bridgend said:
“Absolutely blown away by how generous Riverside are to our charity. From donations to pay for bus hire and fundraising, to Christmas gifts for children in care. It makes a huge difference to our children, and I know foster carers in Bridgend feel the same. Without their support, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. Thank you so, so much!”
Nancy Firth, Kennel Assistant from Cardiff Dogs Home: Rescue Hotel, said:
“We rely on community support for our core operations. This donation allows our team and our 1,000+ incredible volunteers to focus on their mission – delivering the training and care necessary to keep our dogs healthy and happy. Thank you for your contribution”.
Aimee John, Business Manager at Riverside, said:
“We’d like to say a massive thank you to our staff, suppliers and customers for getting involved this year and making this all possible. These donations will help provide much-needed support to those in need, specifically benefiting children in care and those with additional learning needs, along with the local food bank and dog rescue home. To the incredible volunteers who run these organisations, we are proud to support such fantastic charities in South Wales and thank them for their continuous effort in bettering our community.”
Additional donations were also made by Riverside partners, including Logical, Edmondsons, Wolseley, BSS and City Plumbing. In addition to staff and other local businesses across South Wales.
