CASS -more than just scaffolding company
CASS have been involved in many sponsorships projects and challenges, allowing us to give back to the community both locally and nationally. Our charitable ethos sets us apart from our scaffolding rivals as year upon year we increase our pledges to a range of charities.
Wherever possible, we aim to lend our support to those who need it most. Over the last few years we have been involved with some truly amazing charities including Action for Children, Velindre Cancer Centre, Green Task Force and pro-environmental causes.
Veterans Awards
CASS’s very own CEO, Tom Gent won the Bronze Award Veteran Owned Business of the Year 2023. It is great that Tom has been recognised as a Veteran, something Tom is extremely proud of. Tom’s determination and grit he encompasses today is owed to all he learnt during his time serving the Royal Navy, these transferable skills have undoubtedly contributed to the success he’s achieved within the construction industry thereafter.
Pen-Y-Fan
CASS raised an impressive £1,145 on October 4th when some of the team tackled the submit of Pen-y-Fan to raise money for the chosen charity Action for Children. Despite challenging weather and terrain , the team made it to the top in one piece with smiles on their faces and pride in their hearts knowing they’d raised money for very worthy cause.
Row424Hrs
Over the past 3 years we have completed our annual ‘Row424Hrs’ Challenge. Different charities are selected each year to raise much needed funds. In 2020 Cystic Fibrosis and InTouch, a RNRL charity that supports veterans, were chosen. In 2021 it was Velindre Cancer Hospital, in support of one of our drivers who was diagnosed with throat cancer late in 2020. Alfie was well enough to do the last five minutes of the challenge with the support of his family watching him. The charity of choice for 2023 was Action for Children.
Boycott Your Bed
The team braved the elements and took part in ‘Boycott Your Bed’ on October 6th, raising £1,603 for children’s charity, Action for children. The team, sacrificed the comfort of their own beds, instead, spending the night sleeping outside under the stars to raise funds for children’s much needed essentials such as beds, toiletries and warm clothes.
Green Task Force Wales
CASS have recently purchased a new truck for the Green Task Force Wales charity. This charity is close to our hearts and supports nature based therapy for veterans suffering with PTSD.
Tree Planting
In 2022 CASS made the commitment to support the environment whilst working with another charity ‘Green Task Force’. This charity supports veterans on their transition from the forces and helps those suffering with PTSD and other ailments. The charity provides employment to these personnel in outdoor green treatment. This helps their mental wellbeing and gets them back into work when they are at their lowest.
In 2022 CASS took part in the first tree planting day, and the CASS team had a day at Newbridge Fields in Newport where 1000 trees were planted. Early in 2023 the second tree planting day was held in Abergavenny on two different sites. On this occasion CASS worked alongside a team from Morgan Sindall and over 2000 trees were planted. Again, this was an amazing day for the team doing something that is not in their normal working day but also supporting so many great causes. More days are planned for later in the year.
