Chosen by employees as the company’s charity of the year for 2024 and 2025, South Derbyshire CVS provides crucial services such as an emergency food bank, projects to reduce loneliness and isolation, and mental well-being support.
With another year of fund-raising activities ahead, the company aims to help further by the end of 2025.
“All our staff are aware of the cost-of-living crisis and its impact on our community,” said James Cadman, JB Kind’s managing director. “South Derbyshire CVS does incredible work supporting individuals facing financial hardship, loneliness, and mental health challenges. We’re proud to play a small part in helping them make a difference.”
The company’s main 2024 fund-raising events included a successful charity golf day, an Easter raffle, bake weeks, and a lively summer pub quiz. “It’s been a team effort, and I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved so far,” said Mr Cadman.
“I’d like to thank everyone who contributed – our amazing JB Kind team, partners, and participants. This interim total of £3,670 is just the beginning, and we’re excited to see what we can achieve in 2025. Giving back to the local community is a privilege, and we are grateful to support such a worthwhile cause.”
