Our Community
Here at North West Seating, one of our core company values is our responsibility and an important part of that is our ability to give back.
So that is why every year we nominate a charity to help fundraise for and support.
The charities that we choose hold significance to members of the team and we make sure to rotate so that we can offer help to a wide range of fantastic causes.
This year our chosen charity is Mind - A mental health charity.
Mind helps support a great number of people who are suffering from mental illness or that have been directly affected by it.
We chose Mind this year because, as a company, we strongly believe that looking after your mental health is very important. We encourage our members of staff to talk about how they are feeling and we ensure there is no judgement, only empathy and support.
For more information and to donate yourself - check out Mind’s website!
Walk and Talk 4 Men
A group we also support that aligns themselves with the charity Mind is Walk and Talk 4 Men. This support group is specifically targeted at men who are combating mental health challenges.
The group is based in Essex and they provide the opportunity for individuals within the local area to go for leisurely walks, in environments that are calming, such as parks.
These get-togethers allow members to take a much-needed chance to open up to one another without judgement. Members are given the opportunity to offload any harbouring emotions and they are provided with a safe place for all who attend.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the group has extended their support virtually. They are currently hosting virtual catch-ups and quiz nights. The pandemic has been a hit to a lot of people’s mental health. This is why groups like WAT4M are very important.
One way we are supporting Walk and Talk 4 Men, is by bringing the support up North. Our Director Ben Heaton is hosting a walk and support group, giving the same opportunities to individuals within the local area.
