Sevenoaks Rugby Club
£75,000 donated to Sevenoaks Rugby Club in a three-year sponsorship deal to support the club in becoming a recognised centre of excellence for sport in the South East.
Street Soccer Foundation
The Street Soccer Foundation enables selected young participants aged 18–24 (male and female) to achieve positive social change by using the power of football as a catalyst to improve their lives and their environment. Following on the success from last year, we are delighted to be the main sponsor donating £12,000 to support a further three academy programmes for vulnerable young people. Delivered in day sessions once a week throughout the duration of the course, the programme is a fully structured employability-driven course delivered in partnership with Gillingham FC. Upon graduating the Street Soccer Academy, the core aim is to then improve the health and wellbeing of course participants and to improve their overall confidence and motivation to improve their current situation.
Construction Youth Trust
We were one of four employers to support Construction Youth Trust’s Budding Brunels programme. In November 2017, Paul Holdstock, our Commercial Quantity Surveyor, attended Industry Networking sessions to speak to students about his role and responsibilities. The Budding Brunels programme is a three day course for A-Level students who are interested in working in construction. It includes a tour of construction sites, interviews and industry networking with professionals. In total, 25 students across three schools were engaged in the programme.
Biennial Event
We held our biennial Conway Staff Conference in 2018 which brought together over 1,000 FM Conway employees to share our achievements and plans for the future. The focus for the event was ‘working better together’, highlighting the benefits to both customers and the wider public of effective partnerships and sharing knowledge and expertise across the business.
