CHARITY PARTNERSHIPS
At Lignacite, we take great pride in actively supporting our local community through a range of charity partnerships and outreach initiatives. This year, we are delighted to support East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) as our Charity of the Year. Our goal is to raise £7,500 to help provide vital care for children, young people and their families. With EACH serving communities across Suffolk and Essex – where our sites are based – we are committed to making a positive impact close to home.
Charity of the Year
Charities & Organisations We Support
With a team full of sports enthusiasts – including GB Ultra-Trail Runner Tom de Lotbiniere – we understand the importance of physical and mental well-being. That’s why we are proud to champion local sports and have been long-time sponsors of Brandon Town FC, Mundford FC (Men’s and Youth), and Thetford Town Rovers FC.
As a company rooted in Brandon since 1947, we are honoured to sponsor the annual Best of Brandon Awards, celebrating the remarkable individuals and groups that make our community truly special. This year, we are thrilled to sponsor the "Volunteer of the Year" Award, which will be presented on Friday 28th March 2025.
Caring for the environment and taking pride in its appearance is a top priority at Lignacite. That’s why we support Brandon in Bloom, a self-funded community initiative run by dedicated volunteers. Their mission is to enhance Brandon’s beauty through planting schemes and other projects, making the town a greener, more vibrant place for everyone.
Lignacite Fundraising Events
Lignacite Clay Shoot: Our annual Lignacite Clay Shoot is not just our biggest customer event of the year, it’s also a fantastic opportunity to raise much-needed funds for our Charity of the Year, with generous donations collected at each event.
Nick's 500km Walking Challenge: This year, our Chief Operating Officer, Nick Franks, is embarking on his most ambitious challenge yet – walking 500km across 10 events for charity. His journey includes the demanding 32-mile Norfolk Pier 2 Pier Walk, stretching from Cromer Pier to Great Yarmouth Pier.
We’ll be sharing updates on his progress through our social media channels (Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn), so stay tuned! We wish Nick the best of luck and will be cheering him on every step of the way.
