• Luca Doris handed out all the eggs to the children and prize winners

BriggsAmasco is happy to sponsor Alveley Cricket Club. The money has been used to create a safe area for parents and children to socialise safely next to the Pavilion. Its enabled us to convert a piece of land that wasn’t being used into something that will offer lasting benefit to the community.

Scott Middlebrook from Mace is aiming to complete 500 miles to raise money for the Mace Foundation.  Scott is attempting a virtual bike ride on the North Coast of Scotland 500 miles (806KM) journey through the Scottish Highlands, hopefully within the 31 days of July!

The funds raised from the Mace Games will support the Mace Foundation’s charitable activities which includes supporting charity partners: Dubai Cares, Mind and St Mungo’s. Plus the Foundation’s match funding programme for Mace employees which helps hundreds of charities around the world.

BriggsAmasco has donated £250 to help Scott to achieve his target.

As part of the S106 requirements on Woolgate Exchange, Mace are working with a local community group, they were experiencing leaks on a small building so the London team volunteered labour and material resources to repair this roof. 

BriggsAmasco’s London branch whilst carrying out the roofing works at Woolgate Exchange. Their team looked at the roof and decided the best way to repair the leaks was to install a cold-applied waterproofing material.

Briggs Amasco carried out these works, donating £1,950 worth of materials and time out of their normal working hours. This created £15,288 of social value!

“Thank you so much for the work on the roof. Such a difference! It’s been chucking it down since and no leaks at all!” – Calthorpe Community Gardens Volunteer Manager.
