Community Matters

At BES, we’re enormously proud of our roots and we’re very aware of our responsibility to reinvest our time and resources in support of community initiatives and worthy causes, at both a local and national level.

Our official Corporate Social Responsibility Partner

BES is dedicated to enriching the lives of individuals within the local area and has selected Fleetwood Town Community Trust as their official CSR Partner. As one of the largest employers on the Fylde coast and with most of their staff from the area, BES wanted to give something back and make a direct difference to the local community. In 2019, the Community Trust, which is a non-profit, self-funding, registered charity which relies completely on funding and sponsorship, delivered around 30 projects to over 13,000 local people, and thanks to sponsorship from BES, they will now be able to change even more lives.

For the last two years, generous staff at BES Utilities have spread the magic of Christmas by collecting hundreds of toys for local children’s hospice, Brian House.

Neill Oldham, Headteacher of Highfurlong, said:

“We have genuinely been blown away with all the opportunities BES are able to offer our pupils. It has been our pleasure to welcome key members of the BES team into the school and to receive their positive input. This collaboration has opened the door to many new opportunities for our learners, including a brand new football team kit for our newly formed team, the use of the amazing facilities at Poolfoot and at Highbury, and most importantly the access to a wide range of work experience activities.”

Employees at BES enjoyed collecting food bank donations for local charity, The Mustard Seed Group, and were delighted to hand over hundreds of jars, tins, and boxes for those in need. Mustard Seed provides hot meals to those in need, all prepared and served by volunteers, and they rely heavily on donations of food.

Mustard Seed Manager, Hilary Craig, said:

Neil Unsworth, Chairman of Anchorsholme FC, said:

“I’m so grateful for BES supporting us this season. It really does go a long way to helping teams like ours, and without businesses like BES we probably wouldn’t exist.

He knows a lot of our players and has even been over to catch a glimpse of our games in the past.”
