Brookbanks is proud to have raised £1,520 in total for Cancer Research this month as some of our team took part in the Pretty Muddy Fundraiser Challenge. But it doesn’t stop there…

In July, we have donated £1,000 to the Kingfisher Foodbank, who provide an important service to those less fortunate in the surrounding areas of our Head Office in Birmingham. In the UK, more than 14 million people are living in poverty – including 4.5 million children. The Trussel Trust is an amazing charity that provide emergency food and support to people locked in poverty, through a nationwide network of more than 1,200 food banks across the UK. At Brookbanks, we believe this to be a really important cause that requires high appreciation.

We are always looking for new ways to support great causes… we can’t wait to see where our next fundraiser takes us and has us doing!

Plus, we’ll highlight this month’s podcasts! The first explored where structural engineering and building services design overlap, and why good coordination is so important to project delivery. In episode two, Hannah Simpson, Fran Walker, and Isabelle Latuszka spoke about their early-career experiences and how diverse backgrounds add real value to projects.
