July 15, 2025

EDP Environmental is proud to have been raising money for our charities of the year! Throughout the year, we have seen our staff from the Exeter and Fareham offices participating in and organising events for our chosen charities:

· Children’s Hospice South West

The Children’s Hospice South West has been doing work for families with children in need of end-of-life support since 1991, providing hospices for children across the southwest, and families with countless memories of their children.

· The Rainbow Centre for Conductive Education

The Rainbow Centre is a charity that has been running for 35 years, their goals have always been to look at people with disabilities and only see their potential. They provide conductive education to help both children and adults who are victims of neurological disorders and conditions, no matter their starting point, reach their maximum potential with a positive and inclusive attitude at its core.
