Community Give Back Scheme
Asgard Community Investment
Asgard and sister company Flexiform, have been based in Bradford for over 30 years. We believe it is important to give back, helping the area in any way we can, which is why we’ve introduced our Community Give Back scheme. Not only do we employ a local workforce and source materials from local/ British suppliers wherever possible, we invest in the local area by donating surplus goods or ex-stock to charitable organisations and local good causes. Below is a small selection;
 On-Site Learning “This is a really good opportunity for me, I am really enjoying my time here, every day I learn something new and have been made to feel very accepted within the Flexiform team – getting hands on experience is such a different experience to just reading about it.” - Kerrigan Mitchell, former Maintenance Apprentice |
 Kirkwood Hospice, Sunshine & Serenity "Kirkwood Hospice are delighted and extremely grateful that Flexiform have nominated Kirkwood Hospice as their chosen charity. We very much look forward to working together in the future. All support will go towards vital patient care at the Hospice and will truly make a great difference to local people living with a life limiting illness" – Kate Leadbeater, Partnership Development Manager |
 39th Parkwood (H.S.W) Scout Group “… Thank you for your kind donation of a Centurion shed, it looks great and will protect all our camping equipment, it will be safe now from potential thieves and also our Great British weather.” – Group Scout Leader Paul Couchman. |
 Local Schools 180 year 8 students are taking part in a series of 'Industry Days' visits to employers around Bradford to discover what they are about. Employers include high profile names such Asgard. |
 Nell Bank Community Centre Support is given by our staff and Managing Director, Nick Hewitt, who sits on the board of Trustees for 10 years. In the past, we have donated some tables for their classrooms, and recently we have donated an Asgard Bike Shelter. This supplies a safe place for workers to store their bikes. Flexiform continue to work closely with Nell Bank. |
 Clough Head Junior & Infants School |
 St. Curthbert’s Church & Wrose Community Garden “A big thank you from Wrose Community Garden and St Cuthbert’s Church for the fantastic donation of the new metal shed. It was delivered on the date and time agreed and the delivery guys gave us plenty of advice on how to get the most out of it. We are overwhelmed by your generosity.” – Steven Harvey |
 Wheels for Wellbeing Asgard helped out the London based, Wheels for Wellbeing charity, by supplying them with a Gladiator secure storage unit to keep some of their bicycles safe and secure at their headquarters. Whilst we were visiting the charity we learnt a great deal about some of the barriers that come between disabled people and riding bikes. Read the interview with Neil Andrews, the Campaigns & Policy Officer at Wheels for Wellbeing here. |
 Swan Lane “We often have product leftover from large photoshoots or customer demonstrations. These products sadly can’t always be reused, so, when the opportunity presents itself, we donate as much as we can to local charities or businesses. Putting back into the local area is a key part of Flexiform’s Business Plan, recycling by reusing is exceptionally satisfying for us as a company” – Andy Heath, Marketing Manager |
