CLARK Contracts employees have been supporting various charities in recent months through the firm’s corporate volunteering scheme.
Since 2017, the Paisley-based contractor has offered all staff the opportunity to spend one paid working day per year volunteering for a charity of their choice. This means almost 2,000 hours per year can be spent supporting charities across Scotland.
Several employees from the company’s finance, business development and quantity surveying departments have been supporting ACCORD Hospice, Refuweegee, Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice, Fresh Start Scotland and Alzheimer Scotland, by helping to sort through donations, assist within their shops, and prepare for upcoming fundraising events.
Employees from the HR, recruitment and administration departments decorated the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow for Easter. Meanwhile, design managers, contracts managers, site managers and directly employed tradespeople from across the construction, fit out and small works divisions carried out gardening, the restoration of garden furniture, and the internal painting of rooms to help improve facilities for Hansel, Erskine, and Fife Employment Access Trust.
Gordon Cunningham, MD of Clark Contracts, said, “This initiative was introduced following a suggestion by our company steering group, and it is brilliant to see so many employees using the benefit to provide valuable support to a wide range of charities, who all do amazing work within their communities and across the country. We hope this continues as the year goes on, with charities continuing to benefit from our employee’s time.”
