Leo Group ǁ Fundraising and Charitable Donations

With social responsibility and ethical practice at the very top of Leo Group's agenda, it is unsurprising that the leading waste management and recycling company also participates in charity fundraising events and makes frequent donations to various charities.

LeoGroup's continuing commitment to philanthropy has resulted in them accumulating the incredible sum of £125,000 for charity in just one year.

This generosity is typified by Leo Group's community fund, which supports a number of eminently worthy causes in Leo Group's home county of Yorkshire. But Leo Group are also delighted to donate to charities from across the whole of the UK, demonstrating their genuine concern for the disadvantaged and disenfranchised no matter where they are found.

Leo Group's chosen charities include exciting projects to inspire children and young adults through sports, education, culture and the environment.

Other foundations such as Sue Ryder at Manorlands Hospice and Action for Children have been allocated donations by Leo Group to help them provide grief and bereavement counselling and compassionate care.

Marathons and Movember

Fundraising is definitely a team effort for Leo Group, and employees from different areas of the organisation have come together to try to make real a difference to peoples' lives.  Moreover, the Managing Director of Leo Group, Danny Sswrij, has taken the lead in promoting the firm's charity work, pro-actively engaging in fundraising activities himself as a way of giving of something back to society.

The staff at Leo Group are always looking for new and novel ways of raising cash for charity, which range from challenging tests of endurance like the Leeds Jane Tomlinson 10k run to the more irreverent Movember (cultivating the much-maligned moustache for the entire month of November!).

Sponsoring Olympic Medal Triumphs

In addition to donating to charity in the traditional way - and enjoying the more unorthodox fundraising experiences like Movember - Leo Group were also proud sponsors of the Howarth Riding for the Disabled Group, who excelled at this years' Special Olympic Games. The team of riders achieved overwhelming success at the Games, winning a total of 9 medals including 4 golds.  Leo Group would like to congratulate the Howarth Riding for the Disabled Group for Olympic glory following all their hard work.
