Celebrating Our Commitment to Social Value in 2024!

Last year, at Meadows, we set ourselves an ambitious goal, to commit 500 hours to social value. But thanks to the brilliant work and dedication from all of you, we didn’t just meet that goal—we absolutely smashed it, achieving an astonishing 3,718 hours!

Here’s how we made a difference through our 5 key outlets:
💙 Social: Supporting our local communities through meaningful engagement. We contributed to Red Heart Month, our young people baked cupcakes for the elderly and visited them in their home, we had lots of incredible Eid celebrations, we supported International Women’s Day, one of our lovely staff donated to the Little Princess Trust, we had ‘walks for charity’, we sponsored a local festival, and that’s to name just a few! We also raised £1,014.56 for Macmillan Cancer Support, Meadows nominated charity for 2024.
🌱 Growth: Meadows Care is constantly growing as a business, meaning we are constantly creating job opportunities, utilising local businesses and making a difference to young people’s lives in society.
🌍 Environment: Meadows took part in Recycling Day, we held a sunflower competition, we transformed one of our homes into an ‘eco’ home for the very first time, and that’s just to name a few.
👩‍💼 Jobs: Meadows constant commitment to training, development, and career progression ensures that our lovely employees have the opportunity to thrive. Meadows also attend local jobs fairs to recruit people from the local community.
🚀 Innovation: Meadows are constantly driving forward new ideas and initiatives to improve lives. In 2024, our innovative BRIDGE group contributed 1140 hours alone through some incredible work throughout the year, celebrating difference and different traditions.

We couldn’t have done it without the collective effort of everyone involved – so thank you!

After such a successful year this, we have decided to ‘up’ our goal and set out target to 5000 hours for 2025!

Here’s to 2025!
