GIVING BACK WHENEVER WE CAN
We have a strong sense of our social responsibility and constantly strive to make a difference. We pride ourselves on dealing with everyone in a way that is fair and equitable. From providing a house that someone can call home and being a positive force in the community, to supporting a number of worthwhile charities and making sure our own employees are safe, happy and healthy.
Charity Partners
The Annington Challenge
Launched in 2012, The Annington Challenge gives children of service families aged 10-19 the opportunity to tackle Outward Bound courses designed to help them improve self-confidence, resilience, and self-belief. To date over 500 military youngsters have benefitted from Annington's sponsorship.
Reading Force
Founded by an Army spouse and mother of four, Reading Force uses books as a way of making sure young children remain connected to loved ones who are deployed. The family read the same book, then use it as a conversation topic during weekly calls, conquering shyness and awkwardness among the children.
SSAFA/Annington Short Break
This amazing charity runs week-long family breaks for families with a child with an additional need or disability. It offers children a chance to play and grow, and families the opportunity to relax knowing their loved one is safe and enjoying themselves.
