Community

The best projects leave communities better off. Our aim is to be a good neighbour, making a practical difference wherever we work.

Our teams give their time, share their expertise and support causes that matter to them. From fundraising and volunteering to introducing young people to careers in our industry, we find ways to contribute beyond our day-to-day work.

We also help clients understand what matters locally and build it into their projects from the start. By listening to communities and working closely with local organisations and suppliers, we can turn good intentions into lasting results.

Our latest Social Value Impact Report shows £48.2m in social, economic and environmental value. It helps us see where we’re making a difference and where we can do more.

Supporting causes that matter

Our people give their time, energy and expertise to support causes that matter to them and the communities around our offices. Everyone at Ridge has three volunteering days each year, creating time to get involved with charities and community initiatives.

That takes many forms, from fundraising and volunteering to sharing professional skills and supporting local organisations. In 2025 alone, our people contributed 3,360 hours of volunteering, including pro bono work, while Ridge invested £80,000 in community initiatives. Our teams supported organisations and causes including the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal, local charities and community projects across the country.

Our quarterly round-up celebrates some of that work and, most importantly, the causes our people choose to get behind.
