Our Charity Work and CSR

Corporate social responsibility and supporting good causes has always been part of the GGR Group culture but our charity work is not just about signing cheques. We are passionate about getting involved within our local communities & helping good causes. GGR Group’s commitment to supporting charitable projects often gets us involved with fundraising and volunteering activities. We always have great fun whether we are holding a coffee morning, growing moustaches or wearing our Christmas jumpers; giving back makes our jobs that bit more worthwhile. We often support charities that are close to the heart of our team or causes that have helped a loved one in a time of need.

GGR Group has a longstanding commitment to supporting charities and giving back to the communities around its depots. Rather than focusing solely on financial donations, the company encourages employees to take part in fundraising, volunteering and community activities. Over the years, GGR has supported organisations including Age UK, Macmillan, Help for Heroes, Nightingale House Hospice and Wood Street Mission. More recently, the team raised £2,501 for Cuppa for Cancer Care in 2025 and continued its support for Home-Start HOST for a fourth consecutive year by donating toys to local families at Christmas. This hands-on approach to charity reflects GGR Group’s strong focus on corporate social responsibility and making a positive difference within local communities.

Bomber Command Memorial

Bomber Command Memorial

Bomber Command memorial installation

GGR Group provided a mini crane and operator free of charge to erect a WWII memorial stone commemorating the lost lives of 55,573 men at Beachy Head, Eastbourne.  The 6 tonne stone memorial was installed on a cliff-side location after years of fundraising and campaigning by 90 year old veteran Joe Williams.  An RAF Chinook helicopter was used to transport the stone memorial and GGR’s mini crane to the memorial’s final location on the cliff edge.

GGR’s Technical Director Craig Parkin also took to the skies in a charity Spitfire flight to raise funds for the Bomber Command Memorial. Craig, who holds a pilot’s licence, won the Spitfire flight during a charity auction for this special cause. To find out more or to make a donation to the Bomber Command visit www.bombercommand.com
