Kier HR Shared Service Centre are supporting the Trussell Trust by taking part in the Dragon Boat Challenge.

This will be taking place on Thursday 21st September, where 11 people from the HR Shared Service Centre team will race to help raise money for this great cause!

Kier Group supports The Trussell Trust: This partnership, chosen by Kier people will run from July 2023 – June 2025. Kier Group will support core programmes providing cost of living emergency support and providing people with access to money advice and wider benefit support.

As well as volunteering and pro bono work we aim to raise £250,000 to support the Trussell Trust core delivery programmes over two years to support the following:

Helping people access emergency food: In year one we will support cost of living resilience programmes that provide emergency support for people through access to foodbanks. Funding will be used to support running costs of food bank centres, buying food supplies and providing tailored training and support

Practical help to lift people out of poverty: In year two we will support financial inclusion programmes that support people with access to money advice and support, making it less likely they will need to access a food bank in the future.
