Rhodar collaborates for PPF Social Value Initiative
Posted on in Company News
As part of the Procure Partnership Framework Collaborative Working Group (CWG) for East and West Midlands, Rhodar has partnered with Hutton Construction andStepnell for our February social value campaign - focusing on Mental Health and the practical support available to all.
Mental Health struggles are often exacerbated by financial difficulties, and one of the key issues we are all facing is the rising cost of food. In fact, between April 2023 and March 2024, The Trussell Trust Food Bank distributed over 3.1million emergency food parcels across the UK – which is an increase of 94% over the past five years.
Our CWG has produced a helpful resource sheet - detailing various organisations that can help alleviate financial pressures and ultimately contribute to better mental health. This week, Rhodar also visited The Salvation Army in Burton-upon-Trent to donate x20 food parcels, along with copies of the full resource sheet to be made available to those visiting the organisation.
It’s been great to collaborate with Hutton and Stepnell for this initiative, as part of our important social value responsibilities in conjunction with the Procure Partnerships Framework.
(A big thank you to Rhodar’s Cheryl Green and Benji Humphries for all your help organising the food parcels (see pictured above, with Kevin from The Salvation Army, Burton-upon-Trent)).
