## **Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!**

**Wishing all our customers and friends a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from everyone at ESG!**

As we reflect on 2024, we’re proud to share some of the highlights from our charity initiatives across our UK, US and Canadian teams.

## **Fundraising for Derian House Children’s Hospice**

**ESG proudly supports Derian House, a local charity that provides respite and end-of-life care for over 300 children with life-limiting conditions across the North West.** We have raised funds through various events, including the UK ESG team completing Tough Mudder in 2022, 2023, and 2024, as well as organising a Christmas present collection this year.

## **Donating To Calgary Food Bank**

Building on last year’s success, Pandell-ESG continues to support the Calgary Food Bank through food donations, personal employee contributions, and a company donation.

**Together, we’ve donated an impressive $7,700 to combat hunger and support Calgary’s main emergency food network.**

## **Getting Creative with Inspire Youth Zone**

In the UK, we’re proud patrons of Inspire Youth Zone in Chorley, which provides opportunities and vital support to hundreds of young people each week.

**This Christmas, we’re collecting gifts for the children and creating a festive Santa’s Grotto at their Chorley HQ!**

## **Time & Treasure Volunteering with Calgary Food Bank**
 
**As part of the Calgary Food Bank’s “Time & Treasure” initiative, we joined a two-hour session to support their emergency food hamper programme.** Our team bagged over 2,000 pounds of potatoes—enough to provide fresh, nutritious food for a week to 250 families in need. This impact nearly doubles the number of families we supported during our last Volunteer Day.

## **Supporting Chorley Help The Homeless**

**We’re proud to support Chorley Help the Homeless, a local charity aiding those at risk of homelessness in Chorley, Lancashire.** Alongside past contributions of clothing, food, and monetary donations, this year we’re hosting a food drive to help stock their shelves during the busy Christmas season, ensuring food reaches those in need.

## **Sustainability Volunteering at Lytham Beach**

**In line with our CSR goals, the UK ESG team participated in a sand dune restoration project at Lytham Beach, which has increased dune width by up to 80m since its inception**.

Our team supported this vital environmental effort in both 2023 and 2024, contributing to protecting our planet and community.

## **Playing Our Part with Smart Works**

**In March 2024, we participated in Cycle for Smart Works, raising over £3,000 for the Greater Manchester branches.** Over eight days, our team cycled or ran 100 miles each—the equivalent of a marathon—to support this incredible cause of giving women confidence to secure employment.
