Our Society Promise
Yorkshire Water has a vision to Take Responsibility For The Water Environment For Good. As a part of Yorkshire Water, we want to help them achieve this and aimed to make it relevant to us and our team. As a result we have developed our Society Promise.
To us, society has a broad meaning. It is about where we live. It is about how we interact with and the impact we have upon the communities and environment around us. It is about actively participating in projects, big or small, to ensure we have a positive output on someone or something.
We strive to display role model behaviour when it comes to protecting our colleagues and customers, the environment and the resources we use.
SafeMove have supported over 30 charities since we began our strategy in 2014.
Our 5 year plan was to raise £7,000 by 2020 from 2015 and with a full year to spare we have already achieved £7,487. Brilliant for a team of 24 people! I'm sure we will be closer to the £10,000 mark by the end of 2020.
To ensure we all make a difference in SafeMove over the coming 12 months we promise to:
- Raise money for the charity or charities that have a special connection with our staff, customers and suppliers
- Support our team in spending a day away from their normal activities working on a volunteering project of their choice
- Minimise the impact of our day to day activities on the environment
These are three simple steps which we believe will make a difference to the society around us. We will let you know how we are doing as the year progresses and seek your views on how you can help.
Here are our plans for the next 12 months….
- Gardening at the Marie Curie Hospice in Bradford
- Fundraising for our charity of the year, Candlelighters, with a Pink day tombola
- Wyke food bank - Collect food items every quarter and hand to the food bank
- British Heat Foundation - Tour de Yorkshire bike ride, Bucket collection & Sponsors
- Community @ Royds – Christmas hampers for the elderly
- Diabetes UK – Walk for charity
