Dams have a Charity Committee whose remit it is to develop and implement the company’s CSR policy and monitor its effectiveness, its impact, as well as raise money for our chosen beneficiaries. The charity committee includes employees of different levels with one representative from each department who is the chosen voice of their work colleagues.
In addition to the company’s charitable work, Dams also understand that the company
has a responsibility to the local area and constantly strives to find new ways to engage with local communities to improve people’s lives. One such partnership is with the Centre 63 Youth & Community centre in Knowsley, Merseyside. Dams have been supplying Centre 63 with chairs, sofas, desks, cupboards, and other furniture, which they up-cycle and either sell on to provide funds to run Centre 63 or donate to the local community.

To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we set ourselves a challenge to raise £50,000 for charity over 12 months. Dams not only smashed through their £50,000 target but managed to raise a grand total
of £61,336 for their chosen charities – Alder Hey Children’s Hospital and the British Heart Foundation.
