5.2 Volunteering
We allocate members of our team with paid time to take part
in volunteering within the communities around our depots and
facilities or project sites.
The focus of these activities is decided at a local level and used
to support community projects and charities which deliver
meaningful, long-term benefits.
A key part of our approach to social value is also harnessing the inherent value of
repurposing our assets. Working with our clients, suppliers and communities, we aim to
maximise the value and impact that we can create through our donations of assets to
our local communities. This way we create a social legacy within our communities whilst
providing extra opportunities for further social value (the doantions act as an enabler for
further match funding possibilities, helping to create both a financial return on social value
investment and also longer term non-monetised benefits).
Wernick volunteer in Treecycling Campaign
The team at Wernick Hire Aldridge proudly
joined with Fitzgerald Contractors to support
the Birmingham Hospice Treecycling Campaign,
helping to raise vital funds for local hospice care
while promoting sustainable waste practices.
The annual Treecycling Campaign offers residents an ecofriendly way to dispose of their Christmas trees after the
festive season. Instead of ending up in landfill, the trees
are collected, chipped and recycled, with all proceeds
from the service going directly to Birmingham Hospice.
Wernick assisted in the collection of around 100 Christmas
trees from across the community, helping to ensure the
campaign’s success and contributing to the charity’s
fundraising total.
Wernick Refurbished Buildings repair Clifford’s Way Footpath
Wernick Refurbished Buildings began helping
the local Parish Council to repair a local
neighbourhood footpath on Clifford’s Way. The
Council supplied the materials required and
Wernick Refurbished Buildings supplied the
manpower.

The pathway was completed in February 2024, and the
local community were incredibly grateful. To show their
utmost gratitude and appreciation, a member of the
council visited the Refurbished Buildings Factory in York,
gifting the staff with two homemade cakes and a signed
thank you card.
