We’re creating local impact through partnerships, investment, inclusivity and charitable activities.
We engage positively with the communities and businesses that operate where our people live and work.
At Sheriff Construction, we believe businesses like ours have a vital role to play in helping communities thrive. That means creating meaningful local connections, supporting inclusive economic growth and partnering with other organisations to build a better future – from schools and training providers to charities and local enterprises.
We want to be seen not just as a contractor, but as a positive force. That’s why we take account of how our decisions and actions can benefit society, now and in the long term.
Community-impact practices:
Supporting local business and enterprise
- Procuring goods and services from local businesses wherever possible
- Applying prompt payment practices to help small suppliers and subcontractors stay financially secure
- Offering fair and inclusive procurement opportunities to social enterprises and minority-owned businesses
Strengthening social infrastructure
- Developing our own property development projects with community in mind – ensuring affordability, accessibility, adaptability and the provision of green spaces
- Partnering with main contractors to support their community policies and social impact goals
Giving back through charity and fundraising
- Donating to local charities, including Mary Seacole Housing Association, Level Trust and Luton All Women’s Centre.
- Fundraising for other causes close to our team, including overseas aid initiatives and well-known national charities like MacMillan Cancer Support and the British Heart Foundation
Investing in education and young people
- Sponsoring grassroots football teams, such as Crawley Green Hawks (boys) and Leighton United (girls)
- Partnering with schools, colleges and training providers to offer work experience and curriculum support
- Inspiring future talent by promoting construction careers to young people and career-changers
We believe strong communities are built on shared investment – and we’re proud to play our part.
