In 2024 several of our teams spent their time volunteering at Forest of Hearts in the Midlands, including supporting them with their nature reserve and creating disabled access pathways at Stratford Upon Avon’s hospital.

Forest?of?Hearts is a UK based charity (registered CIO) dedicated to creating greener, healthier and more sustainable environments where people, places and nature thrive. They offer “green therapy” programmes, group gardening and nature sessions to support wellbeing, alongside garden creation at NHS and community sites to boost biodiversity.

Last month the charity held an event to appreciate the work done by some of their corporate partners. Cemex was invited to the thank-you event and representing our company were Christian Vale and Vasile Cristian Marica. The event was attended by other businesses such as BAM, NFU Mutual, and Crowne Plaza.

During the event, Christian Vale received a certificate of appreciation from Forest of Hearts for leading Cemex’s exceptional support of these worthy causes. His understanding of their needs and his efforts to work with his team to create long-term value were highly commended.

Congratulations to Christian and everyone who has taken part in these volunteering events. We look forward to continuing our support for their valuable initiatives this year and beyond.
