Community Initiatives

Over the years, we've been actively involved in various community initiatives. We've sponsored local events like the Lion’s Club annual fairs and New Milton Rugby Club, and provided free waste disposal for community events such as the New Forest Marathon and the New Milton Fireworks display. We’ve also supported local organisations like Oakhaven Hospice and The Men’s Shed.

2024 Projects

In 2024, we launched several sustainability-focused community projects in the New Forest:

• Partnering with the Bumblebee Conservation Trust to create a community orchard, enhancing biodiversity and providing a resource for local residents.
• Leading a recycling and education project at Milford on Sea Primary School, transforming their swimming pool into an outdoor learning space. The project not only enhanced the school's facilities but also provided students with hands-on learning experiences about recycling and sustainability.

Why Community Involvement Matters

Why is community engagement so important to us? It's simple. We believe that businesses should be a force for good in the communities they serve. By supporting local initiatives, we're not only improving the lives of our neighbours but also fostering a stronger sense of community and pride.

As one of the largest employers in New Milton, we often get unfairly judged due to the nature of our business. By actively engaging with the community, we're able to showcase our commitment to sustainability, education, and community development. It's more than just a corporate responsibility; it's a core value that drives our business.

We look forward to continuing our efforts to make a positive impact on the New Forest community for years to come.
