National construction charity Band of Builders (BoB) has teamed up with DEWALT to provide help and support to tradespeople impacted by illness, injury or financial crisis across the UK.
As part of the collaboration, DEWALT will supply tools and equipment for volunteers to use during construction or renovation projects, and will engage in a programme of activities throughout the year to raise vital funds and drive awareness of the charity’s essential work.
Gavin Crane, chair of the board of trustees at Band of Builders, said: “We’re excited to welcome DEWALT as a partner this year. Having the backing of a global brand in this way will undoubtedly strengthen our profile and drive awareness on a larger scale than ever before.
“Our aim is to reach as many construction workers as possible and having DEWALT championing our cause will enable us to communicate our message to a significantly larger audience. Most importantly, it will also allow us to help a greater number of beneficiaries over the coming months and years.”
He added: “The pandemic has hampered many of our fundraising activities and projects over the last 12 months, with countless events postponed or cancelled. With DEWALT’s support, we will be able to resume work almost immediately, and our goal is to complete many more projects throughout 2021.”
Meanwhile, Chris Wayne, group marketing manager at DEWALT, said: “We are passionate about supporting the professional trade community and are eager to start work with Band of Builders – a hugely inspiring charity that is run by tradespeople, for tradespeople.
“This partnership is an important opportunity for DEWALT to give back to individuals within the industry who have backed our brand for many years. Our teams are extremely keen to participate on a personal level, to boost awareness and fundraising efforts, and provide a helping hand to professionals through the toughest of times.”
