Boden Group is committed to supporting the communities in which we operate and to providing social value to local organisations, groups and charities.
We have launched the Community Support Scheme to enable us to provide real and tangible support to local organisations. Under the Scheme, we provide staff time, equipment, and resources to support local communities within our operating areas. This scheme is designed to enable local charities, community groups, and organisations to complete small-scale projects or tasks they would otherwise struggle to achieve due to limited resources or funds.
The Scheme’s Objectives
We support projects that meet our objectives to:
- Enhance the well-being of local communities.
- Support sustainability initiatives.
- Promote the company’s values by giving back to the areas in which we operate.
For full Scheme Terms and Conditions please see here.

Applications are open to:

How does the Scheme Work?
The first step is to apply by completing our application form, which can be found here. Before you do this, make sure you have had a look through the Scheme Terms and Conditions so that you understand exactly what we need from you. You can find a copy of these here. Make sure that you submit your project at least 4 weeks prior to the proposed start date.
Once we have received your application you will receive a confirmation of this within 5 working days
It may be that we require further information from you, or want to arrange a site visit. If required we will be in touch to arrange this. If no further information is required, and if your project is successful, then we will be in touch to confirm this within the next 28 days. Unfortunately, due to the vast number of applications we receive it is not possible for us to get back to all unsuccessful applications.
