At first, £10 didn’t feel like much, it’s just me, after all, but I quickly realised that’s exactly the point. When we all chip in, it adds up. Business for Good felt like the right way to give: local, simple, meaningful. Lyndsey Smith, 838 Digital Thomas Panels & Profiles has a long-standing philanthropic relationship with Herefordshire, and we believe that business should strengthen the communities we serve. Our people live and work in the county, so we invest in initiatives that tackle poverty, support education, improve mental health, and boost community wellbeing. The scheme turns intent into practical, accountable action by channelling support to grassroots projects where it matters most. It aligns with how we operate: collaborative, responsible and focused on long-term impact. Being part of Business for Good lets us pool efforts with other local employers and see real outcomes for real people. We are proud to help build a stronger, more resilient Herefordshire.
