In total, the team engaged in various fundraising initiatives, including a 50K walk/run, a challenging Ben Nevis Hike, weekly 50/50 raffle draws, and an unforgettable Anniversary Dinner & Auction.

With the collective effort of the team and the generous contribution from the Sibbald Family, a remarkable feat was accomplished, raising an astounding £45,000. This substantial sum was distributed equally among the three esteemed charity partners, each representing causes close to the company’s hearts.

The Lighthouse Club, a beacon of hope in the construction industry, received a portion of the donation. Renowned for its provision of holistic support encompassing emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing, the Lighthouse Club plays a pivotal role in nurturing the welfare of the construction community and their families. Sibbald’s long-standing association with this indispensable charity reflects its enduring commitment to social responsibility.

Strathcarron Hospice, the second beneficiary, was chosen with profound consideration. Recognised for its exceptional provision of specialist hospice and end-of-life care, Strathcarron Hospice extends compassionate support to individuals facing life-limiting illnesses. Sibbald’s contribution of £15,000 will significantly bolster its invaluable services, covering the costs of a day’s operation across Forth Valley, Cumbernauld, and Kilsyth. Moreover, Sibbald’s engagement underscores its dedication to enhancing healthcare accessibility and promoting research and education in palliative care.

Lastly, a heartfelt connection with SCBU (Special Care Baby Unit) at St. John’s Hospital in Livingston spurred Sibbald’s support for this vital cause. Inspired by the exemplary care provided to the daughter of one of its directors, Iona, during her premature birth eight years ago, Sibbald sought to reciprocate the kindness bestowed upon her family. By funding the creation of a new virtual tour for families, Sibbald aims to alleviate the anxiety and uncertainty often experienced by parents and caregivers in such challenging circumstances.

A Sibbald spokesperson said: “In commemorating our 50th anniversary through acts of kindness and generosity, Sibbald reaffirms its enduring commitment to making a positive impact in the community. As we reflect on our rich legacy of integrity and compassion, we look forward to continuing our journey supporting local charities and causes for the good of the community in the years to come.”
