We have been part of the local communities in Gloucestershire and Boston for more than 80 years. We understand the role companies like ours can play in supporting the people and families around us and take great pride in helping where we can.
Over the years two-thirds of our community contribution has gone into local charities and the remainder into sponsoring local groups like Gloucester Rugby Community Department.
The Lane family established the Gilbert Lane Trust in memory of our founder. The Trust supports charities throughout England and Wales, with special emphasis on Gloucestershire and Lincolnshire (the founder’s home county and home of Jakemans (Confectioners) Ltd).
Below are who we have most recently supported. We are also keen to support colleagues’ individual fundraising initiatives across the business and any member of staff can put forward a proposal asking for support for any charitable initiative they are partaking in, whether that is for a fun run, full on marathon, Movember, or just some support for a local sports team their child in a member of.
