Donations we made to Help for Heroes and The Police Dependants’ Trust contribute to the rehabilitation and support to some of the bravest in our society. Independence is one of the greatest gifts that could be possibly provided.

Help for Heroes supports those with injuries and illnesses attributable to their service in the British Armed Forces. No matter when someone served, they believe that those prepared to put their lives second, deserve a second chance at life. Every course and activity they offer aims to empower them to look beyond illness and injury, regain their purpose, reach their potential and have a positive impact on society. Anyone can help to reduce the time it’s taking Veterans to come forward and help end mental health stigma by:

• Sharing across social media channels and spread the message that Heroes are not alone
• Donating and cutting the clock before it’s too late
• Fundraising and showing support for Heroes in local community.

The Police Dependants’ Trust exists as an independent charity that provides a confidential programme of practical, emotional, and financial support for serving and former police officers and staff who have suffered harm as a result of their policing role. Since the 1960’s they have provided financial support to police officers and their families. The Trauma Resilience in UK Policing project explores how to better support the brain’s ability to process trauma exposure and maintain resilience by:

• Preventative techniques to help process trauma exposure post-incident
• Resilience training skills
• Trauma Management Survey
• Understanding atypical trauma and high-risk roles.

Remembrance is part of modern British life, culture and heritage.

After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol of Remembrance and hope. Its colour is red because of the natural colour of field poppies.

The Two Minute Silence, held each year at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, marks the end of the First World War in 1918.

There are more than 100,000 war memorials in the UK. They take many forms, including cenotaphs, plaques, gardens and books.

We made sure that all the plants are ready for 2018 Remembrance Day to honour those who gave the ultimate sacrifice to secure and protect our freedom.

Cranford Community College, one of our important customers, has a mission of ‘Transforming a Community’. They ensure that the young people of Cranford and its surrounding areas achieve as highly as possibly in every educational and social field.

Their Sports Facilities include 3G full size football pitch which is a great alternative for an outdoor football field. Thanks to their generosity PGSD spent a very enjoyable afternoon playing football and even scoring! 11 times in total!

For game purposes only, PGSD was divided into two teams, working at schools and working at the council, their families were cheering for them:

P for Passion!

G for Growth!

S for Support!

D for Dedication!

They say that ‘In football match, everything is complicated by the presence of the opposite team’, but I think you should just keep calm and act like you know what you’re doing..

At PGSD we believe we can do better than only “liking” and “sharing” a charity’s campaign. In the last few months we have supported two brilliant organisations: Sense and Great Ormond Street Hospital. Supporting with actual financial contributions, naturally rises up from the usual social media clutter to truly create meaningful content.

Sense is a national disability charity that supports people with complex communication needs to be understood, connected and valued. They began, and continue, to support people who are deafblind. Today, they also support a wide range of people with complex communication needs. Whilst they prefer not to use labels, sometimes, they can help people to understand the wide range of individuals that Sense supports:

• Deafblind, dual-sensory impairment or multi-sensory impairment
• Single sensory impairment with additional needs
• Complex needs, which may include sensory impairments, additional learning or physical disabilities, or autism.

Great Ormond Street Hospital has always depended on charitable donations to give seriously ill children the chance of a better future. Every day 618 children and young people from across the UK arrive at the hospital. Their charity supports the hospital and young patients by funding four key areas:

• Rebuilding and refurbishment
• Support for families and children
• Research into children’s health
• Life-saving medical equipment.
