WARRINGTON-based Ingevity has donated a total of £10,000 to support the educational, human health and wellbeing initiatives at a school, residential home and three charities in Warrington.
The donations align with the company’s philanthropic focus on education, human well-being and sustainability.
“We’re honored to be in a position to support the local community at such a crucial time,” said Paul Shelley, site manager, Ingevity.
“The COVID-19 pandemic is placing financial strains on many residents in our community. We hope our contributions ease some of those burdens. Enhancing the communities in which we live and work is deeply rooted in our company’s history and culture.”
Each of the five organisations funded by Ingevity received a donation of £2,000.
Monies donated by Ingevity will support the following:
• Callands Community Primary School – The donation will assist the school with a
full restart as they have been particularly challenged by Covid-19.

• Walton Lea Partnership – The donation will provide supported learning, development and work activities for adults and young people with learning disabilities.
