Giving Back This Christmas: Supporting Our Local Community in Worcestershire

Choosing to Give Back This Christmas

This year, instead of sending out traditional Christmas gifts and cards, we wanted to do something that truly reflects our values as a business – giving back to our local community here in Worcestershire.

Supporting the Charities We Work Alongside

As a company that works closely with charities, clubs, and community organisations throughout the year, we understand just how vital their work is. Our relationships with charities go beyond supplying kit and apparel; they are partnerships built on shared purpose, commitment, and impact. At a time of year that can be especially challenging for many, we felt it was important to show our appreciation and support in a more meaningful way, and give back to our charities.

£1,000 Donated to Mags Day Centre

That’s why we’ve chosen to donate £1,000 to Mags Day Centre this Christmas. Mags Day Centre is a local charity based in Worcester that plays a critical role in supporting people facing homelessness. Since 1985, Mags has been a lifeline for individuals experiencing homelessness, offering a warm, safe environment, hot food and drinks, and access to essential life support services. Their Worcester Day Centre provides dignity, care, and hope to those who need it most all year round.

A Message from Mags Day Centre

In response to the donation, Melissa Blewitt, Fundraising, Communications & Relationships Manager at the charity, said:

“It was a pleasure welcoming the team and sharing more about our work. Donations like this make a real, tangible difference — helping us provide warmth, food and vital support to people facing homelessness at a time when it’s needed most. We’re incredibly grateful for the kindness and support shown.”

Remembering Those Facing Homelessness This Festive Period

The festive period is often filled with celebration, connection, and generosity. However, it’s also a time when the realities of homelessness can feel even harsher. We encourage everyone, amidst the smiles and celebrations, to spare a thought for those facing homelessness and to recognise the incredible volunteers and organisations who work tirelessly to support them, especially at Christmas.

A Word from Scimitar

Jon Rew, Managing Director at Scimitar, said:

“We know the incredible work the charity do for homeless people in Worcestershire, we wanted to show our support for the local charity this Christmas. This is a particularly busy time of year for the charity when it’s cold and people are in need, so we are so pleased that we’re able to offer support by way of donation.”

Proud to Support Our Local Community

Everyone at Scimitar is incredibly proud to support Mags Day Centre and to play a small part in helping our local community. It’s a reminder that impact doesn’t always come from grand gestures – sometimes it comes from choosing to give back where it matters most.
