The Pavers Foundation, charitable initiative of comfort footwear retailer Pavers, has recently surpassed the huge milestone of £2million in donations.
The Pavers Foundation is an employee led initiative and those across the entire business are encouraged to nominate good causes, including: food banks, grassroots sports clubs, voluntary organisations, care centres, ventures in disadvantaged communities, health research centres and playgrounds.
Mark Granger reflected on his time as Chairman of the Foundation over the past three years, he said: “We are proud that in less than five years, we have managed to reach the fantastic milestone of granting over £2m to causes close to the hearts of our colleagues. It is a privilege to work for a family business that gives back to colleagues.”
Stuart Paver, son of Pavers’ founder Cathy, assumes the role of Chairman of the foundation from January 2024 onwards. He has been instrumental over the past few years in donating over £400,000 of medical and emergency aid to Ukraine.
Mr Paver commented: “The foundation is one of the strategic pillars of our business and allows us to give back to the communities in which we work. So many of our colleagues are passionate about local charities and our donations allow them to make a difference to causes close to their hearts.
“I am looking forward to taking over chairmanship of the foundation and continuing the great work of Mark and the team, to ensure we continue to make a difference with every pair of Pavers shoes sold.”
