Our approach is to make a meaningful difference in society. We are committed to creating a positive impact by leveraging our influence in the communities where we live and work, all around the globe.
We collected supplies for those affected by the Ukraine war
Since the conflict in Ukraine escalated countless homes, schools, hospitals, and vital infrastructure have been destroyed. Millions of people are still in need of the essentials, including food, clothing, shelter, and healthcare.
Our offices in France and Spain supported a Ukraine appeal that saw them collecting clothing and supplies. Their efforts provided both immediate and long-term support, helping communities to survive the crisis. Our ongoing support for UNICEF also ensures assistance for even more children and families affected by the war.
We supported local charities in their fundraising
CPM UK is proud to support two local charities, nominated by employees and led by a team of volunteers. Our chosen charities in 2022 were Thame Youth Projects and Leeds Mind, which are located in the towns where we have offices.
Thame Youth Projects believes that young people are not a problem to solve, but a wonder to behold. They provide activities for young people aged 11-18 and are building a new youth centre in the local area. Leeds Mind is a division of the national Mind.org charity. They provide training for businesses, suicide prevention, fund-raising and services to help raise awareness and offer help to those in need.
We encouraged personal giving and volunteering
At CPM, we actively encourage our employees to donate their time and earnings for the benefit of others. That’s why we have initiated an option that allows staff to use their personal budgets for a donation to a social charity.
We’ve also set up an annual volunteer day, open to all internal employees. Staff are entitled to apply for a day to work or fundraise for any registered charity they choose. It’s a win-win for everyone involved. The volunteer day gives employees an opportunity to make a meaningful difference, and it gives charities access to skilled, enthusiastic support.
We sponsored end-of-life and bereavement care
We Every year, CPM Ireland provides sponsorship for the Irish Hospice Foundation. This amazing charity works hard to ensure the best end-of-life and bereavement care, for all. Because, as they say, every death matters, and we only have one chance to get it right.
The foundation provides a full range of services, from advocacy and education to Nurses for Night Care and the Bereavement Support Line. In the last twelve months, over 1,400 calls were answered on the support Line, and nurses provided more than 2,600 nights of care.
