December was a month that truly showed the power of social value in construction at Danaher & Walsh Civil Engineering.
In our industry, we often talk about social value. We include it in proposals, build it into programmes and work hard to give back to the communities around us. However, sometimes social value happens naturally. During December, our teams showed exactly what the Danaher & Walsh difference means.
That difference is our people.
Supporting a Melton Mowbray Food Bank
Our Business Development Manager recently spoke to a neighbour who volunteers at a food bank near our Melton Mowbray site.
After hearing more about the support they needed, he decided to see what he could do to help. Within days, our client Galliford Try had joined the effort. Colleagues from Danaher & Walsh Head Office also got involved. As a result, just before Christmas, the team delivered bootloads of food to the Melton Mowbray food bank.
Watkin Road Bridge Team Donates Prize Money
Our Watkin Road Bridge team also made a generous contribution.
The team had an incredible year, winning multiple awards and achieving a near-perfect Considerate Constructors score. Because of this, they won Danaher & Walsh Team of the Month for December. The prize included £100 for the team to spend on bacon rolls or drinks after work.
Instead, they chose to donate the money to a food bank near their site in North Leicester. In recognition of this gesture, Dan Danaher doubled the value of the prize. Therefore, even more food was donated to support local people before Christmas.
Supporting Hope Against Cancer
Danaher & Walsh also raised money for our chosen charity, Hope Against Cancer. We raffled generous gifts donated by our suppliers, helping to raise additional funds for an important local cause.
We would like to thank everyone who donated prizes and supported the raffle.
A Life-Saving Response Near the River Soar
One act of kindness stood out as a powerful reminder of the people within our business. Danaher & Walsh was working with Keepmoat on a project near the River Soar. During December, team members saw a woman struggling in the river.
They acted quickly and used a ladder to help save her from drowning. In recognition of their actions, Danaher & Walsh has made a substantial donation to the Samaritans.
Restoring Faith in Human Nature
These acts of kindness remind us that social value is not only about targets, programmes or commitments.
It is also about people doing the right thing when it matters. From food bank donations to charity fundraising and life-saving action, December showed the care, generosity and character of the Danaher & Walsh team.
As we enter 2024, we wish you and yours a safe, happy, healthy and prosperous new year.
