The GGM Group, together with its sister company, PSD Groundscare, is proud to announce donations totalling £2,025 to a range of employee-nominated charities, following a special fundraising initiative held to celebrate 50 years of partnership with Kubota.
To mark this significant milestone, GGM launched its "£50, 50/50 for 50" campaign, encouraging employees to raise £50 for a charity of their choice.
In recognition of the anniversary, every contribution was supported through a 50/50 employee and employer funding approach, helping maximise the impact of the initiative while celebrating five decades of partnership with one of the industry's leading manufacturers.
The campaign gave colleagues across both GGM and PSD the opportunity to nominate causes that are important to them, ensuring the funds raised would support charities with genuine personal meaning to our teams.
Following employee nominations, donations were made to the following charities:
- Blood Cancer UK
- Cancer Research
- Mind
- Dementia UK
- Pendleside Hospice
Together, these donations will support organisations carrying out vital work in cancer research, mental health support, hospice care in the local area, dementia services and specialist support for individuals and families affected by blood cancers.
While the initiative was launched as part of GGM's celebrations of its longstanding relationship with Kubota, it also reflected the company's commitment to supporting the communities in which it operates.
By placing employees at the centre of the process and allowing them to nominate deserving causes, the campaign created an opportunity to recognise an important business milestone while making a positive difference beyond the workplace.
Chris Gibson, Managing Director for GGM Group said: "Reaching 50 years of partnership with Kubota is a milestone we're incredibly proud of. We wanted to mark the occasion in a way that reflected our values as a business, and the £50, 50/50 for 50 initiative gave us the opportunity to celebrate while supporting causes that are important to our employees. We're delighted that together we've been able to donate more than £2,000 to a number of fantastic charities."
As GGM continues its anniversary celebrations throughout the year, the success of the initiative highlights the positive impact that can be achieved when colleagues, partners and businesses come together behind a shared goal.
