Charity and volunteering

Midwich has always been recognised as a supporter of charities. Through our fundraising efforts over the past 10 years, we’ve been incredibly proud to represent some amazing charities and raise in the region of £200,000. Most recently, we successfully raised £45,058 for our local mental health charity, Norfolk and Waveney Mind. We did this through several different initiatives including our annual quiz, festive raffle, and physical activity challenges.

In 2022, we have chosen to support 14 charity partners in the UK and Ireland. Our events and initiatives are open to all our customers, vendors, distributors, suppliers, family members and the local community to get involved. We’ve set our sights on raising a record amount this year and we’re relishing the challenge!

As well as donating as much money as possible for our chosen charities, in 2022 we’re giving everybody the opportunity to take a day out and donate their time towards a volunteering project. This might be supporting Cancer Research UK’s local Race for Life events, litter picking in the local community or a conservation project in partnership with Norfolk Wildlife Trust. We’re also forming a team of green-fingered colleagues who are creating a vegetable patch and garden area at Midwich HQ, we plan to raise funds for our charities by selling the vegetables in our office café.    

There’s still lots of work to be done, which is why we’re pledging to offer more than 200 hours of colleagues volunteering in 2022.
