Bathroom manufacturer HiB has extended its partnership with family support charity Home-Start UK for a second year.

Last year, HiB raised £25,872.50 for the charity through corporate donations, volunteering and staff fundraising, helping vulnerable families across the UK.

Some of the activities that HiB has taken part in include the London half marathon, a Halloween fundraiser and other local volunteering opportunities.

HiB presented the charity with a cheque for £20k at the beginning of August to kick-off another 12 months of fundraising.

The funds raised so far can support the recruitment and training of an additional 539 Home-Start volunteers.

Each volunteer assists six families, on average, which means over 3,000 families could receive the essential support they need from HiB’s donation alone.

Home-Start reaches over 78,000 children in 43,692 families across the UK who are suffering from isolation, bereavement, illness, mental health issues and financial insecurity.

CEO of Hib Robert Ginsberg commented on the partnership: “We are incredibly proud of the dedication shown by our team.

“Our partnership with Home-Start has not only allowed us to give back to the community, but also strengthened our company culture.

“We are excited to continue this journey for another year and to keep making a difference to the lives of families – every contribution helps ensure that no child or family is left behind.”

CEO of Home-Start Peter Grigg, added: “We are so proud of our partnership, the support from HiB has been phenomenal.

“The commitment goes beyond financial contributions; it extends to hands-on involvement and genuine care for the families we support.

“We are excited about the future of this partnership and the continued positive impact it will have on communities across the UK.”

As HiB moves into the second year of its partnership, it has already started fundraising activities with the  Three Peaks challenge in September featuring 10 participating HiB employees.
