March is generally recognised as women’s month – an opportunity to highlight women’s achievements and to discuss continuing and emerging women’s empowerment and gender equality issues, concerns, challenges, and commitments. This has inspired some female colleagues around CEMEX to donate materials to some marginalised community groups in Rugby including asylum seekers and refugees.

The women have donated scarves, pampering kits, crafts kits and other donations to hand over to targeted groups of women in Rugby. Rugby Borough Council also got involved and asked their employees to donate the same items. Benn Partnership centre accepted the donations on behalf of the targeted groups.

With so much going on in the world around us, it is inspiring when groups can get together and make meaningful donations to other members of the community.

A special thanks goes to all the CEMEX ladies who donated items for the wonderful cause.
