Falkirk Foundation is delighted to announce D-360 as a community partner and headline partner for our upcoming Gala.
The partnership brings together two organisations with a shared commitment to supporting the local community, with D-360 joining the Foundation at an exciting time as we continue to grow our programmes and the impact we make across the Falkirk area.
D-360 is relatively new to the Grangemouth area, and the relationship developed following the Foundation’s recent Coffee and Cake Community Morning. Conversations between the two organisations highlighted a shared ambition to make a positive difference locally and explore how D-360 and its employees can become involved in the Foundation’s work.
Derek, Chief Executive of Falkirk Foundation, said:
“To be one of our community partners is a really big deal for us. I think the ethos that we’ve got and the work that we do in our community really fits in with the work that D-360 do. I think that’s a really good stepping stone for us to build a good relationship.”
The partnership will provide opportunities for D-360 to engage with the Foundation’s programmes and wider community activity, while also giving its locally based team the opportunity to play an active role in supporting the area.
Alison Hill, Director of Operations Support and People Engagement at D-360, explained that finding the right local organisation to work alongside was an important part of the company’s approach to corporate social responsibility.
“It was about making sure that we could understand how we could actually work with the Foundation and some of the programmes that they have. As a business, for our employees and in the community, we wanted to have a local partner to work with.”
D-360’s values are centred around SPIRE: Safety, Passion, Integrity, Respect and Evolve. Allison highlighted how the partnership will allow the business and its employees to put those values into action by giving something back to the community.
She added:
“We have a passionate team of people that are based locally and support the community. I think it’s the right thing to do that you get them involved in that as well, because equally, they’re giving something back.”
The partnership will also see D-360 take a leading role in the Falkirk Foundation Gala as the event’s headline partner.
The Gala is a major event in the Foundation’s calendar, bringing together supporters, partners and businesses while helping raise vital funds to support the Foundation’s work throughout the community.
Speaking about D-360’s involvement in the event, Derek added:
“It’s really exciting news to have D-360 as the community partnership with regards to our Gala night. It’s a big event for us and the support they’ve given us throughout the last month has been tremendous. For them to come on board and be part of the Gala night, I’m really excited by.”
We’re looking forward to building the partnership with D-360 and working together to make a positive impact across our community.
