UGP choose Simon On The Streets as their charity of the year

After a company-wide vote, UGP have chosen the local, independent charity Simon On The Streets as our charity of the year for 2018.

Simon on the Streets is an independent charity covering West Yorkshire, in particular Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield. They are a charity that supports the homeless community, in particular, entrenched rough sleepers. Remaining independent of statutory funding is critical to their success as it allows them to work without restrictions and to deliver tailor-made support on an individual basis with no time limitations.

They are an independent charity which does not seek government nor local authority funding. This allows them to operate completely independently in a manner that best fits the situation of their service users, rather than external policies.

We’re thrilled to be able to support Simon On The Streets and the work they do for the local community here at UGP. Stay updated with our fundraising by following us on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
