In the Community

Supporting the Community

At H&S, we pride ourselves on doing what’s right, even when it's not the easiest path. This dedication sets us apart from other contractors. As a family-owned business, we believe that our contracts succeed when we invest in the community and involve local people. Our Social Value Strategy focuses on critical societal issues, including unemployment, inspiring young people, social inclusion, community regeneration, and environmental sustainability. This strategy is an essential part of our overall business approach, fully backed by our directors and senior management.

Our local branches and Community Engagement Coordinators (CECs) work in partnership with our clients to ensure that we deliver real social value across all contracts and beyond. Our Social Value team, led by our Community Engagement Manager, is responsible for ensuring that deadlines, targets, and activities align with the unique needs of the community while also meeting contractual requirements.

How we support the community

Community Repaint

H&S are extensively involved in a scheme called ‘Community Repaint’, a network managed by Resource Futures – an employee owned, not for profit, environmental consultancy.

Charitable Donations

We contribute to charitable causes through financial donations, sponsoring community events, supporting non-profit organizations, and providing resources to help those in need.

Volentering

We volunteer by engaging in community projects, supporting local charities, organizing fundraising events, and offering our expertise to assist those in need.

Supporting Apprenticeships

We are passionate about apprenticeships, providing mentorship, hands-on training, career growth, and opportunities for young professionals to gain valuable skills and experience.

"From the start, we've focused on making a positive impact through our work. While many companies are now trying to replicate our approach, genuine change requires more than imitation—it demands deep conviction and integration into the very fabric of your business. To truly make a difference, you need a mission that's authentic and guides every aspect of your operations."
