Michael Hardy in the community
As a small local business we recognise that we have a responsibility to try to put something back in to the community whenever we can. In many cases this has been sponsorship of the local school fete during the summer or at Christmas, in other cases our contribution has been more significant. Hawthornes School in Woosehill has built itself a reputation for educational excellence in the area but like all Schools struggles with funding for some of its peripheral projects. Earlier this year Michael Hardy paid £ 3,000 towards the new music cabin being built in the school grounds. This is in addition to some £3,250 paid in previous years via Michael Hardy’s “pay back” scheme, every house we sold where a child attended Hawthornes the school received a cheque for £250. These contributions may be modest against a school’s budget but we like to think that the money helps the school and its staff in their efforts to educate the community’s children.
Below is a list of the schools and projects we have sponsored over the past few years;
Walter County School
Gorse Ride School
Hawthornes School
St Teresa’s School
California Football Club
Pinewood Football Club
Finchampstead School
Michael Hardy Charity work
As a company we feel that those of us who enjoy our health have a responsibility to those who don’t. Over the past 10 years Neal Mackenzie, the company’s managing director, has run a half marathon every other year for various charities, culminating in the Great North Run last September. Whilst wearing out several pairs of running shoes he has also managed to raise about £ 15,000 some £ 12,500 of which has gone to Cancer research. In 2005 Michael Hardy sponsored 3 local ladies who climbed Kilimanjaro to raise money for a cancer ward in the John Radcliffe hospital in Oxford, 2 of the 3 ladies made it to the top and photos of the two shivering and exhausted climbers holding a Michael Hardy for sale sign takes pride of place in company’s board room our contribution, £ 3,500. below is a list of the charities we continue to support.
