The Hills Group celebrates the season of giving with charity donations

Swindon-based family business The Hills Group – which works across waste and recycling, quarrying, and house-building – has embraced its festive spirit by donating to three local charities, in place of sending out Christmas cards this year.

Threshold Housing Link, Julia’s House, and Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service were welcomed to Hills’ head office in Swindon and presented with £250 each for their respective charities.

Corporate fundraiser for Julia’s House, Jo Common said: “At Julia’s House, we look after the most seriously ill children in Swindon and Wiltshire.

“Our dedicated team of nurses and carers are a lifeline, providing essential respite breaks to give exhausted families relief from round-the-clock care, helping to prevent them from reaching breaking point.

“We rely on the community for 92 per cent of our funding, so it is thanks to organisations like The Hills Group and this wonderful donation, that we can continue to provide this vital care.”

Collecting the donation on behalf of Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service, Kate Rowland, training and business development manager said: “Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service were delighted to learn that we were one of the recipients of a donation
from The Hills Group.

“Demand for our services sadly remains high, particularly over the
Christmas period and every donation supports our work with victims of domestic abuse and their children.”

The Hills group is well known for its philanthropic work, having raised thousands of pounds for many charities throughout 2023.

Mike Hill, chief executive of The Hills Group said: “We pride ourselves on the support we give to a wide range of charities every year. We hope that these donations help Threshold Housing Link, Julia’s House, and Swindon Domestic Abuse Support Service to continue the amazing services they all provide.”
