Community activities
McBride seeks to play an active role in the local communities in which it operates. As well as providing significant employment opportunities, we aim to make positive contributions to these communities, building goodwill and a reputation as a good neighbour and employer.
The Group is involved in a wide range of local community activities including undergraduate sponsorships and support of the UK SIFE programme, which works to mobilise university students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. The Group also provides support for the local statutory authorities via voluntary work and advice, sponsors specific educational awards.
We provide careers advice for students and school children; provides mentoring support to assist ethnic minority students into employment; and provide work experience placements. The Group is also active in supporting local charities and host a wide range of factory visits for educational purposes or to exchange best practice.
