Creating positive change, close to home

At Cardo, we believe strong communities make for stronger futures. We listen to residents, engage with local groups, and support initiatives that meet real needs. From backing schools and charities to working with local businesses, our efforts help enrich the environment for everyone – especially our workforce, many of whom are local residents themselves.

Working together with our clients

Our clients share our commitment to their communities. By collaborating with them, we identify opportunities to make meaningful social impacts. Together, we turn plans into actions that bring lasting benefits to the places we work in.

Our people making a difference

Our team brings diverse skills and passions to local projects, whether it’s renovating spaces, planting trees, or inspiring young people at career days. This hands-on involvement strengthens community ties and gives our colleagues a real sense of purpose.

 

Everyone in Cardo is encouraged to get involved in the community through volunteering. This can include helping out on local projects or donating materials and funds to local charities and initiatives. Through our social value donation fund, we provide additional support to local causes, ensuring that our work has a positive impact far beyond the projects we deliver.

Education and skills at the heart of community growth

We believe in giving local people, especially young people, the chance to learn and grow. Our team runs school engagement projects and career days, helps create apprenticeships, and provides work experience placements. We also offer training opportunities for groups who may face extra barriers to employment, helping people gain the skills they need to succeed.

Testimonials

  • “
    Multi-Trade Operative

    When taking part in social value days such as the handyman service within the local community, I find it a breath of fresh air. It’s so rewarding taking the time to do tasks outside the normal business operations. I find it often brings so much more support and joy to the elder members of our community and leave them feeling we’ve gone above and beyond the call of duty.
