Making a Difference this Christmas
At Downwell Group, we believe success isn’t just measured by the projects we deliver, it’s also about the positive impact we make in our communities. This Christmas, we were proud to support The Passage, a leading charity dedicated to helping those who experience or become at risk of homelessness in London.
Through a combined effort from companies within the Downwell Group – including Inner City Scaffolding, Inner City Environmental, and Inner City Fire Solutions – we donated £7,500 worth of essential items to those most in need. These included warm clothing, toiletries, and food supplies, all aimed at bringing comfort and dignity during the festive season.
But we didn’t stop at donations. A team of volunteers from across the Downwell Group spent time at The Passage Resource Centre near Victoria Station, serving hot meals and distributing food parcels to individuals who rely on the charity’s services. This hands-on experience gave our team a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by people experiencing homelessness, and reminded us why giving back matters in everything we do.
Why The Passage?
For over 40 years, The Passage has been at the forefront of tackling homelessness, providing practical support and long-term solutions to help people rebuild their lives. Their mission aligns perfectly with our values of care, respect, and community engagement. By supporting The Passage, we’re not only helping individuals in crisis but also contributing to a broader goal of creating safer, stronger communities.
Making a Difference beyond Construction
For Downwell Group, making a positive impact isn’t just a phrase, it’s a principle that guides our actions. Whether through charitable partnerships, volunteering, or sustainable practices, we strive to give back and make a real difference beyond the construction site. This initiative with The Passage reflects that commitment: working together to bring hope and practical support to those who need it most.
As we look ahead to the new year, our dedication to community care remains unwavering. We will continue to seek opportunities to support local causes and ensure that our success benefits not just our clients and teams, but society as a whole.
