Throughout 2021 Rodda’s senior management team donated over 100 hours of their time to volunteer in the community. Highlights included supporting a gardening and DIY project, which was run by Volunteer Cornwall and Macmillian Cancer Support.
The Rodda’s team lent a helping hand, over 2 days, clearing an overgrown garden for 87-year-old Nora, who lives in St Austell, and has been affected by cancer over the last two years. Following treatment and shielding during the pandemic, she no longer had the energy to be able to keep on top of her garden.
Further initiatives have seen the team launch running clubs, charity bike rides, arranging events such as a Macmillan Coffee morning and providing local donations of clotted cream to care homes at Christmas.
In the past year, we have also donated over 38 traditional milk churns that were once used by the business, to a local charity project, to help raise money for Cornwall Hospice Care. These churns have been painted by Cornish artists, and will form part of a trail across Cornwall, launching in 2022, showcasing the artist’s work. These churns will then be auctioned to raise money for the charity.
