Age Concern Hampshire is pleased to announce that Simplyhealth, a leading health insurance provider, has generously volunteered to redecorate one of the offices at the Lockswood Care and Wellbeing Centre in Locks Heath. This act of corporate volunteering not only brightened the space, but also highlighted the importance of community engagement in supporting local charities.
The dedicated team of Simplyhealth employees transformed the office, creating a welcoming and uplifting environment for the staff and visitors at the Lockswood Care & Wellbeing Centre. The centre plays a crucial role in providing support for older individuals who require extra assistance or are living with dementia. It offers services that promote social inclusion, wellbeing, and independence. Additionally, the centre serves as a lifeline for unpaid carers by providing safe and secure respite for their loved ones.
“We are extremely grateful to Simplyhealth for their time, effort, and generosity in helping to revitalize our centre,” said Brogan Rehill, Head of Fundraising & Volunteer Services at Age Concern Hampshire. “Corporate volunteering like this truly makes a difference, and we would love to hear from other companies who want to help create a positive impact in their community while offering their teams a great opportunity to make a real difference.”
“We were delighted to volunteer our time at the Centre. Our team really enjoyed rolling up their sleeves and making a positive difference. At Simplyhealth, all colleagues have three days per year to spend volunteering in our local community, helping to improve access to healthcare locally. Volunteering activities are incredibly rewarding, and it is a great way to recognize and celebrate the wonderful work of charities like Age Concern Hampshire and the essential support they provide. This was our way of saying thank you, and we can’t wait to return,” said Charlotte Cook, ESG Lead at Simplyhealth.
Corporate volunteering is a valuable way for businesses to make a tangible difference in their communities. For Age Concern Hampshire, this collaboration highlights the importance of giving back and building strong relationships with companies committed to making a positive impact, improving community spaces, and contributing to the overall wellbeing of the community.
