As a responsible operator, we want to play our part in supporting communities near our sites as well as protecting and enhancing the local environment.
Our community assistance programme involves the donation of money, materials and time, through our employee volunteering days. We also regularly host site visits for local people to learn about the extraction process and how the materials are used in everyday life. Our approach is to prioritise support for initiatives:
Promoting education, skills, and wellbeing
Protecting/enhancing the environment
Supporting biodiversity and sustainability
Promoting the community and heritage of the area
Assistance is prioritised to groups making applications from those based within a three-mile radius of our Hingston Down quarry site. To make an application for funding, material donation and/or volunteer support, please tell us about your group and/or project, what type of support you are seeking and how your project’s aims align with our support initiative goals set out above by completing this form
