Siemens Mobility has announced its continued support for the Two Rivers Community Pantry in Goole, home of the company’s state-of-the-art Rail Village.
£5,000 of donations from the Siemens Mobility team included £1,000 towards Christmas pantomime tickets at the local theatre, Junction Goole, for families who would not ordinarily be able to attend.
This contribution marks the fifth consecutive year of donations to community causes from Siemens Mobility, helping provide support for those in need within the local community.
To help the team at Two Rivers Community Pantry, first year apprentices from Siemens Mobility’s Goole Rail Village packed items in bags for distribution, stocked shelves and learned more about the local community.
Natalie Thornton, Operations Support Manager for Siemens Mobility in Goole, said:
“We deliver trains, technology and infrastructure from Britain, for Britain, to transform rail travel and transport – but we also hope that the support we provide to our local community makes a difference to those in need this Christmas.
“I am proud of the team for all the help that has been provided to the Two Rivers Community Pantry, marking the fifth year in a row that the Siemens Mobility team has donated support for our local community in Goole.”
Councillor Anne Handley, Leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Councillor for Goole North, said:
“Five years of support for important causes, such as the community pantry, demonstrates Siemens Mobility’s continued commitment to Goole. Their kind donations and volunteering efforts will make a great difference to those in need as we head into Christmas.
“I would like to thank the team at Siemens Mobility’s Goole Rail Village for their support to the local community.”
This latest demonstration of support for the local community follows Siemens Mobility’s recently published 2024 Social Value report, which found the company contributing 4,337 community volunteering hours across 2024. The report highlighted the company’s efforts to deliver against social value goals, along with its ambitions for further embedding social value into business practices.
These efforts included working with the Primary Engineer programme to engage 1,161 pupils in STEM sessions and welcoming six special education needs (SEND) interns at the Goole Rail Village, after joining forces with Selby College which is part of the Heart of Yorkshire Education Group, and national charity DFN Project SEARCH.
