Premierline in the community
UK children's charities

At Premierline, we give back to the community by letting team members take time during their working day to volunteer for causes that are important to them. Each employee at Premierline is able to use up to 20 hours per year during work time to volunteer for a cause or charity that is close to their hearts, charities which our staff continue to dedicate time to outside of working hours too.

Thanks to our volunteer hours scheme, staff can learn new skills, build their networks and are able to take a bit of time out to do something they enjoy and give back to the community. This could include taking part in a local litter pick event, clearing paths along the canal, visiting the local hospice or in Steph’s case, volunteering by helping out children’s charities such as Barnado's and Children with Cancer UK.

Read on to find out more about Steph, and the work she is doing to help children’s charities that are close to her heart.

Steph has been involved with charities for as long as she can remember and has taken part in several physical challenges to raise money for many different charities. She also tries to provide regular donations of clothes and shoes to her local charity shops. As a mum with evolving fashion tastes and two young children, Steph is always bagging up clothes items to take to charity shops in a bid to help the charities and be more sustainable too.

In addition to running half marathons and taking on epic bike rides, Steph also volunteers time to help her daughters grassroots football club, taking part in further events to raise money to support children in the local area.

We asked Steph a bit more about the work she does and why she thinks helping out when you can is so important:

As a large employer in Lancaster, we know we have a responsibility to do what we can to help local charities and causes to improve the lives of those in our community. By running our volunteer hours scheme, we’re able to commit countless hours to groups and individuals that need our help. Previously, we’ve provided volunteers for a range of local charities but are always looking to source new opportunities for our team to get involved in.

If you work for a charity, cause or community group and feel that we could help you, email questions@premierline.co.uk to find out more about our volunteer hours scheme and other charity fundraising initiatives. We’re immensely proud to be able to play our part in helping local causes that work so hard to improve the lives of others in the Lancaster and Morecambe area.
