Here at The Beefy Boys, it's very important to us to support our local community as much as we can
From our charity scheme we have managed to support more charities than we thought was possible and in 2023 alon we proudly donated over £65,000 in 2023 to local charities, schools, support groups and go fund me pages.
Here’s a word from those charities…
"Be More Frank was established in 2021 in honour of glorious Frank who died from cancer in 2021, aged 13.
We provide grants to the family of every child with cancer in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, Monmouthshire, Powys & Ceredigion. The grants are not means tested and are easy to access. We believe providing financial assistance during a family’s darkest times when costs spiral is a vital practical support we can offer. Our goal is to continue this provision until the day our children are no longer being diagnosed with cancer. The Beefy Boys donation has helped us continue this service, and we are so very grateful. Our oncology families continue to be supported thanks to their generous gift.""The Compassionate Friends is the UK's only national charity providing peer support from bereaved parents to other parents whose son or daughter, of any age, has died from any cause.
Over 300 trained and supported volunteers, all bereaved parents, support in person, over the telephone, by email, online and in print and provide the compassion, empathy, understanding, friendship, and hope that only other bereaved parents can give. The Beefy Boys team in Shrewsbury set aside a portion of their tips and donated £3734.23 to TCF, which has helped us meet the costs of offering our range of support to bereaved parents in Shropshire. We are extremely grateful for their support.""The Hereford Foodbank is committed to the relief of poverty in Herefordshire and the surrounding area through the provision of 7-day emergency food parcels, containing basic nutritional foods and other basic amenities.
Recipients of food parcels are those deemed to be in emergency need arising from, for example, homelessness, debt, poor mental health, or delayed benefit payments. We rely on volunteer time, food, and financial donations from our community to provide our service. The very welcome, regular financial donations from the Beefy Boys helps us to purchase essential food items for emergency parcels. We would like nothing more than to be in a position where there is not a need for foodbanks. However, with the support from our community, we will continue to provide food to those in crisis.""Our Place School is an independent special school in Worcestershire.
We believe every young person deserves to feel safe and secure, receive an excellent education and the chance to fulfil their potential, whatever their background or needs. We are committed to providing our young people with a place to grow and develop positively, where their individual needs are met, and they are seen and valued as the unique and wonderful young people they are. The generous donation from Beefy Boys allowed us to install two ActivAll Boards! These walls encourage teamwork, gross motor skills, whole body movement as well as being great fun for our students. Without the donation from Beefy Boys, this would not have been possible. Thank you, Beefy Boys!""Every donation given helps your local hospitals do more to care for you, everyone you love and our passionate NHS staff.
From cutting-edge technology, improvements to facilities, supporting our incredible staff to specialist care; your support helps to fund projects that make a positive change for as many as possible. Working with The Beefy Boys in Cheltenham has just been the most fantastic experience! In just three months they fundraised an incredible £6,512.28 for our Oncology department. This support means we can do even more to help local cancer patients, their loved ones and the wonderful NHS staff that care for them. We are so grateful for their generous support and want to say a big thank you to everyone in the Cheltenham Team!""Shropshire Mental Health Support seeks to empower people with mental health issues.
We work to raise awareness and increase understanding of mental illness in Shropshire. Our primary goal is to ensure that people in need of assistance are heard and supported, also signposted to the relevant resources they require. Over the last 12 months, Shropshire MHS has supported over 12,000 people with their mental health needs - equating to 1,000 individuals per month. This number is growing each year, and the charity is proud to have averted over 700 potential suicides every year – saving invaluable lives, each with purpose and meaning. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Beefy Boys customers for their generous donation towards our purchase of a new well-being vehicle. This vehicle is an essential service that will assist those in need. It will visit market towns and serve as a vital link to our other services, such as the award-winning Shropshire Sanctuary, our around-the-clock telephone support service, outreach programs, and person-centred groups. We are passionate about collaborating with other like-minded businesses in our community to make a positive impact.""The Living Hope.
The Living Hope, based in Hereford, is dedicated to assisting individuals facing homelessness, addiction and poverty to receive the specialist supported accommodation they need; then providing ‘move on’ accommodation with individual mentoring, tailored support and training to promote independence and self-sufficiency. We are run entirely volunteer-driven and funded by generous donations. The Living Hope Hub, tirelessly served generously donated meals to homeless people every evening for four months. All cooked and donated by local businesses and churches. The team’s dedication continues as we develop the next phase of The Living Hope Hub in new premises. The very generous donation from Beefy Boys will significantly boost our efforts to establish The Living Hope Hub again in Hereford. Their support will enable us to serve lonely, vulnerable, homeless and marginalized people during the early evenings, when everything closes; darkness falls; the temperature drops; morale plummets, loneliness sets in and problems increase. Most importantly, it will allow us to install a kitchen, dramatically enhancing our capacity to cook, serve and care. Heartfelt thanks to Beefy Boys for joining our mission to provide hope and stability to needy people."Sponsorship
