In each of our European locations, Portakabin delivers positive social value by:
Portakabin works in partnership with York High School, on an annual basis, to mentor 20 students in Year 10. Over an 18 month period, 20 mentors from across the Portakabin business help to raise the students’ aspirations, develop their communications skills, recognise their abilities and provide direction and focus. Opportunities are also available for work experience, CV and interview workshops and careers events.
Employees involved in charity events, for example running a marathon, can apply for donations of up to £150 for the charity. Larger donations, up to £2,500, are available every six months for sponsorships of sports and activity clubs via a blind draw process.
Each Portakabin employee is entitled to spend a day each year working for a charity or organisation of their choice. The activities they undertake could be running an activity at a care home, clearing a school garden, or painting a youth club.
