JELD–WEN bolsters commitment to employee development with volunteer day

JELD-WEN UK has underlined its commitment to employee development with a volunteer day at St Lukes, in Sheffield. Ten members of the JELD-WEN team spent a day volunteering for St. Lukes, a palliative care hospice specialising in supporting patients and their families.

The hospice relies on donations, with government funding making up just 25% of the £20m it takes to deliver its services. The JELD-WEN team attended the central donation and sorting hub, helping sort through public donations of books, toys, furniture and bric-a-brac to be sold in St. Luke’s charity shops.  Sallyann Charlton, Interim Head of HR at JELD-WEN, said: “We were pleased to see an enormous amount of public donations for the charity and we enjoyed spending the day helping to sort products that will go on to provide an essential income for the charity. Volunteering together nurtures continuous improvement and a positive workplace culture across the company.”
