Our business sits at the heart of our local community in Newham and has done for over 140 years. While Newham is one of the most diverse places in the UK, it is also one of the most deprived.
As one of the largest businesses in Newham we are committed to continually building economic and social wealth in our community.
Our ambitions
We are committed to employing greater numbers of local people – training and developing them in the skills they need for the long term, as well as encouraging them to give back to their local community through volunteering.
We will use our scale and sense of place to promote local projects that build economic and social wealth in our community.
We will focus on the key challenges facing our local population: low wages, crime, access to resources, and employability.
We will maintain our financial support for local charities that focus on these challenges.
