Bellrock, in partnership with Metcor Environmental, is excited to announce the launch of the Bellrock/ Metcor Charity Challenge 2024. This initiative aims to raise over £10,000 for Centrepoint, a leading charity dedicated to helping homeless youth. The campaign will run from July to October, featuring a series of engaging events to raise both awareness and vital funds for this important cause.
The initiative has been led by Bellrock’s Workplace Services team for the Legal & General Investment Management (L&G) account, who have been working in partnership with Metcor Environmental, across the L&G estate, since 2020. Bellrock are L&G’s partner for FM Integration across their entire portfolio, whilst Metcor are a longstanding partner of L&G delivering specialist commercial drainage services.
The charity challenge is taking place across a variety of L&G properties in the southern region. Homelessness is a societal issue across the UK and to highlight the high rate of homelessness around the Dover area, the Bellrock and Metcor teams took part in a sponsored ‘sleep out’ from the St James Dover estate on the 4th July.
Another L&G property, Crayfields Park in Orpington, are holding a sponsored Olympic-themed Sports Day for the cause whilst the Bristol based team are hosting a charity treasure hunt. Bellrock people will be organising, volunteering and taking part in this series of charity challenges to start a conversation around homelessness to support Centrepoint.
Youth Homelessness: A Pressing Issue
Jessica Smith, Bellrock’s organiser for the initiative says:
“Youth homelessness is a cause close to our hearts. These young people are the future occupiers, service partners, suppliers, and customers of tomorrow. Unfortunately, the cost-of-living crisis, the global pandemic, and ongoing social challenges have significantly increased youth unemployment and homelessness.”
Daniel Bradley, Metcor Group’s Sales and Marketing Director adds: “We want as many people and businesses as possible to join us in supporting Centrepoint and making a difference in the lives of homeless youth. We are fortunate to collaborate with fantastic service partners who have generously agreed to sponsor these events. Together, we can create a brighter future for the next generation.”
Community Impact
Bellrock have recently launched a dedicated Community Impact Team which coordinates charitable and volunteering endeavours across the Bellrock group. There are a number of events planned throughout the year benefiting different charitable partners. A recent example was a fundraising picnic that marked the recent United Nation’s Day for Cultural Diversity whilst raising crucial funds for mental health charity MIND.
The Event Schedule
- Sponsored Sleep Out in Dover: 4th July
- Family Olympic-themed Sports Day at Crayfields Industrial Park, Orpington: 16th August
