VINCI Park in the Community
At VINCI Park, we are keenly aware of our responsibility towards the communities in which we operate and It is our policy to encourage our employees to find ways to contribute positively to our communities.
Case Study: Young Leadership Programme with Hull FC
As part of the worldwide VINCI Group, we also embrace the values of the VINCI Foundation. The Foundation aims to foster greater social cohesion by supporting citizen initiatives and projects that help socially excluded people gain employment.
Through the VINCI Foundation, VINCI Park has been able to demonstrate its commitment to the Hull community, where it provides parking enforcement on behalf of the City Council. VINCI Park has provided £23,000 funding to Hull FC Rugby Club to launch a Young Leadership Programme to provide teens with an opportunity to discover their full potential through their involvement as leaders in sport. The programme will provide valuable work-related qualifications for local teenagers, aiming to address the city’s high levels of unemployment. Click here for the full story.
Case Study: Fundraising for Community Links
VINCI Park’s multi-storey West India Quay car park is based in Canary Wharf, at the heart of the financial district. VINCI Park’s local team partnered up with east-London based charity Community Links to offer local workers the opportunity to raise funds for community-based projects which empower individuals in deprived neighbourhoods. The chosen method of fundraising was a charity abseil, which saw over 30 people from local businesses brave an 80ft descent down the side of the car park, raising over £4,000 for Community Links. As VINCI Park had sponsored the event, every penny raised went directly to tackling poverty in East London.
