Around the world our Cemex Social Impact strategy is making a positive and lasting difference in the local communities where we operate. We focus on empowering people, improving housing and infrastructure, building green spaces and resilient communities, and supporting local economies through skills development, entrepreneurship, and sustainability for a just transition.
How can you get involved
Across the UK between 10th – 14th June we are asking Cemex UK colleagues to please support Collaborative Women this June, by donating items that you no longer need or want. Operating out of Manchester, Collaborative Women work with victims of domestic violence and provide access to safe and affordable housing and also find ways of empowering these women to forge their own paths. The support they mostly require is with materials to assist women who have been housed or are seeking safe accommodation when they escape domestic violence. You can find out more about the organisation here: https://www.collaborativewomen.co.uk/about
We can support them by donating:
- Bedding | For Double and Single Beds
- Mattress covers
- Sheets
- Pillows
- Duvet covers
- Period products
- Toiletries | travel size options would be welcome
- Toothpaste
- Toothbrush
- Shampoo and conditioner
- Shower gel and bar of soap
