Sacyr Community Benefits Team Visits Tŷ Hafan to Explore Partnership Opportunities
On 10th November, members of the Sacyr Community Benefits Team visited Tŷ Hafan, one of Wales’ leading children’s hospices, for an insightful tour of the facility. The visit formed part of Sacyr’s ongoing 100 Days of Volunteering initiative, which encourages staff to engage directly with local charities and community organisations.
Tŷ Hafan provides vital care and support to children with life-shortening conditions and their families. The hospice offers a warm and compassionate space where families can spend precious time together, access specialist care, and receive emotional and practical support during some of the most challenging periods of their lives. The visit gave the Sacyr team a deeper understanding of how Tŷ Hafan’s work positively impacts families across Wales.
As part of the day, Sacyr’s Stakeholder Engagement and Community Benefits Manager joined representatives from Cambrai, BBI, Mitie, Wates, and Tilbury Douglas for a Business Leaders breakfast meeting with the CEO of Tŷ Hafan. The discussion focused on how the construction industry can better support the charity, particularly in maximising the value of future building and refurbishment projects. The session also explored opportunities to develop prosperous partnerships that could enhance community outcomes and strengthen Tŷ Hafan’s facilities and resources.
The breakfast discussion contributed a couple of hours to the 100 Days of Volunteering initiative through valuable knowledge transfer, allowing Sacyr and other industry partners to share insights, expertise, and connections. By exchanging ideas, the group helped Tŷ Hafan explore how it could make the most of future construction opportunities and better understand how collaboration within the social value space can help both the charity and local businesses achieve their community benefit targets.
This visit reflects Sacyr’s continued commitment to building strong, meaningful relationships within the community and ensuring that its projects contribute positively to people’s lives beyond construction.
