A Spalding company has decided to celebrate going 2,000 days without having an accident on site by giving a donation to charity.
Packaging manufacturer Spalding Cover has donated £1,000 to The Lighthouse Project after its safety record on Enterprise Way.
The charity provides social support and housing for homeless or at-risk young people, helping them to transform their lives and move towards a brighter future.
This donation follows a recent Christmas collection for the charity by Coveris’ employees at its two sites in Spalding located on Enterprise Way and Wardentree Park.
Employees generously donated a range of items including food, toiletries, household goods, clothing and toys during the festive period.
Mark Ellis, Coveris Spalding’s site manager and Leah Bretten, HR advisor at Coveris visited The Lighthouse Project Spalding and presented a cheque to its founder, Jenny Tedbury.
Mark Ellis said: “Live safety first is our number one priority and I’m very proud of the continuous efforts of our team at Coveris Spalding who make this happen, every day.
“2,000 days lost time incident – free is an incredible achievement for our business and it’s important we continue this journey for the safety of our people, our site and the products we manufacture.
“This safety milestone allows us to support the valuable work of The Lighthouse Project Spalding and it was really rewarding to meet Jenny and learn more about the difference being made in the local community.”
Jenny Tedbury, founder of The Lighthouse Project added, “We are grateful to Coveris for this very kind donation.
“As a charity providing supported accommodation to young people in South Holland we are not funded by any statutory bodies but depend on donations made by companies and individuals.
“We are seeing the need for support growing so fast that we can’t keep up.
“Donations such as these and the amazing gifts Coveris donated at Christmas help us to serve the young people, and in some cases their children, so much better.”
