Story

Support Derek & Tom as They Help Build a Better Future

This November, Derek Bailey and Tom Gillespie from Speedy Hire will be heading to South Africa to take part in Mellon Educate’s Building Blitz. They’ll be giving up their time to help build and refurbish essential educational facilities, creating better learning environments for hundreds of children.

They’re aiming to raise £7,000 to support the project. Every donation will help them get closer to making it happen.

To boost their efforts, Speedy Hire will also be stepping in with match funding at key milestones:

• £500 when they reach £3,500

• £1,000 when they get to £6,000 – helping them hit the full target

Let’s help make this happen, one brick at a time.
