Russell Roof Tiles extends charity commitment

Manufacturer Russell Roof Tiles has announced it will be extending its support to two new charities this year as part of its Give4Good initiative.

Nominated by staff, the new recipients ‘Buddiez’ and ‘Miles for Smiles’ will now benefit from fundraising efforts under the programme, which was devised in 2022 as a way of supporting local causes with fun and challenging events which are championed by its staff, suppliers, customers and partners.

Miles for Smiles, based in Swadlincote, aims to provide grants or memorable experiences to people with life-limiting conditions, and Dumfries-based Buddiez aims to provide a safe and stimulating environment for adults with learning disabilities.

Russell Roof Tiles has pledged to raise £50,000 for its chosen charities this year, which also include Burton-based Staffordshire, Shropshire and Cheshire Blood-Bikes, Burton YMCA and Lochmaben-based Veterans Garden Dumfries and Lockerbie Wildlife Trust, as well as international charity, The Footprints Family.

Managing director of Russell Roof Tiles, Andrew Hayward, commented: “Community is at the heart of everything we do, which is why we’re proud to bring our Give4Good initiative back for the fifth time. Our firm is known for its inventive ways to fundraise, and we’re excited to share the plans we have in place to reach our ambitious target and support some incredible charities that work tirelessly to make a positive impact in our communities.”
