Across the UK, Siemens Mobility employees worked side by side with community partners to deliver practical, hands on volunteering activities that created tangible local benefits.
Events were held nationally to encourage employees to volunteer, working with local organisations and partners Community Rail Network, The Conservation Volunteers and Samaritans.
Marko Feulner, CFO and Chair of the Board, Siemens Mobility UK & Ireland, said:
“There's something special about seeing our people come together to make a difference. This Spring, over 1,300 hours were volunteered across 13 locations, but what really stands out is the enthusiasm our people bring to it. Supporting our communities isn't something we do on the side, it's part of who we are. I'm proud of every colleague who gave their time."
In Glasgow, volunteers spent the day at Langloch Farm in Lanark, supporting Clydesdale Community Initiatives (CCI) Scotland. CCI Scotland is an independent charity that helps people facing health, disability, and social challenges to play an active role in their community.”
Clydesdale Community Initiative Niall McShannon, Managing Director, said:
“The Siemens team were a joy and a pleasure to work with at Langloch, we loved how they got into the spirit of ‘Wonky Way’ and had great fun working alongside CCI participants to create new features for our nature trail. We hope that the public will have as much fun using the playhouses as our team had making them.”
