Social Value
At Complete, we recognise the importance of supporting the local community. As a result, we regularly raise awareness and funds to support a range of local charities. Along with monetary donations, present gifting and providing digital marketing solutions free of charge, we can often be found crawling through mud, climbing a mountain (or three) or running a few miles to do our bit.
Each of the community projects that we support offers fantastic opportunities for many people. Take a look at some of the amazing charities that we’ve worked with over the last few years.
Wesley’s Cafe/Larder
Wesley’s Cafe and Larder provide cooked meals for those less fortunate. Since the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, this service has become even more important. The volunteers work so hard to take care of the local community. Our donation allows the volunteers to organise food from a specialist supplier and continue offering healthy meals.
Streetlife Blackpool
Streetlife Blackpool offers shelter and support for vulnerable and homeless young people aged between 16 and 25 in Blackpool. Their support services include counselling and life skill sessions, such as art and cooking classes.
Fylde Rugby Community Foundation
The Fylde Rugby Community Foundation offers rugby events for schools and adults in the local community. Their aim is to promote rugby and its values. They deliver regular sports projects and provide rugby coaching in schools.
Santa’s Slog
Santa’s Slog is an event organised by a fantastic team of locals. Bill Hodgson completes extreme physical challenges around the area to raise money for various charities. We have supported Santa’s Slog for the last few years and are always amazed at what can be achieved by the team.
Starr in the Community
We recently became a sponsor of Starr in the Community, which provides fun experiences to children of all abilities. Their fun circus shows give children the freedom to enjoy themselves. Starr understands that many families struggle to attend events for various reasons, so they tour the UK regularly with their incredibly talented team.
St Annes FC
St Annes FC offers regular training and matches for young people living on the Fylde Coast. We are an official kit sponsor of St Annes FC.
Mind Lancashire
Mind is a mental health charity that works hard to raise awareness and funds to support those struggling with various conditions. Throughout the year, they can support you with organising events so that you can help raise awareness too.
Our Managing Director has completed the 3 peaks in 24 hours challenge to raise awareness for Mind charity.
Cash for Kids
Cash for Kids supports young people around the UK who are affected by poverty, neglect, illnesses and more. The charity runs multiple fundraising initiatives throughout the year to raise awareness and money for young people.
In September 2023, we took on the UK Firewalk in Preston to raise money for Cash for Kids. The Firewalk involved walking over hot coals at 1000°F – we were very ‘brave soles’ indeed! We managed to raise over £900 for the charity that makes a real difference to young people in the area.
Christmas Jumper Day
Christmas Jumper Day is organised by Save the Children. Each year, the money raised helps to provide care for children in the UK and across the world. At Complete, the team always take part in raising money for young people who need it most.
What’s coming up for Complete?

Our Managing Director will be completing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge to raise money for Cash for Kids. The Yorkshire 3 Peaks challenge is a 24-mile round trip covering Pen-y-Ghent, Whernside and Ingleborough. We’re sure he will see some fantastic views along the way!

Tough Mudder
In 2024, we’ll be taking on the Tough Mudder challenge! This is going to be the ultimate team-building experience, and we can’t wait! For this year’s event, we’ll be raising money for Age Concern Central Lancashire – a fantastic charity supporting the well-being of older people.
We’re always on the lookout for partnerships that can make a real difference to the local community. Keep an eye out for more community partnerships and links to sponsor us for these great causes.
