Russell Roof Tiles Spreads Festive Cheer with Biggest Ever Charity Pot

AS PART OF its 2024 Give4Good charity initiative, Russell Roof Tiles has raised £80,690 – its highest amount ever in a single year.

This week the firm hosted special presentations to hand over the money raised to 10 local charities close to its Burton and Lochmaben sites, chosen by the firm’s 150 staff.

The local recipients who will benefit from the Give4Good cash this year are D&G Canine Rescue Centre, Lockerbie Wildlife Trust Veterans Garden, Sports Driving Unlimited, and Moffat Mountain Rescue in Scotland and Burton and District Mind, Burton YMCA, Young Ones Burton, Burton Soup Kitchen and Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire Blood Bikes in Staffordshire. Each of the charities received a cheque for £5,586.60.

As well as the UK charities, this money is being shared with two international charities, Footprints Family and Odisha Football Club Kids in Poverty Fund.

Russell Roof Tiles Managing Director, Andrew Hayward, commented: “I am delighted that we can share the Give4Good cash amongst some amazing local causes who do such excellent work in the community.

“It’s been another record-breaking year of fundraising for us and despite the cost-of-living crisis we’ve smashed our target. Our teams have done an amazing job, volunteering their time and efforts to help raise money.”
