AtkinsRealis recently hosted its annual charity netball tournament, bringing together seven companies for an afternoon of fun, friendly competition, and fundraising in support of the Lighthouse Charity. In a generous show of support, AtkinsRealis has also confirmed match funding of £1,353, doubling the impact of their efforts.
The event, now a well-loved tradition, is a highlight of the company’s charitable calendar. “It’s something many of us look forward to each year,” Aleksandra Wojtas, Assistant Project Manager, said. “It’s not just a great way to raise funds, but also to bring people together, collaborate with other companies, and raise awareness of causes we care about.”
This year’s tournament was attended by Amiri, Currie & Brown, Gleeds, Chalk Creative, Architecture PLB, Kier, and of course, AtkinsRealis. A standout moment was the decision to mix teams, blending players from different companies to create a fantastic team spirit. “Despite starting the afternoon as strangers, everyone worked together beautifully, the atmosphere was full of camaraderie,” they added.
Congratulations went to Currie & Brown, who took home the winner’s title on the day.
Our charity was once again chosen as AtkinsRealis’ Charity of the Year. “It’s a cause that really resonates with us, especially given the areas we operate in. Lighthouse [Charity] helps shine a light on key issues in our industry, from wellbeing to safety, and we’re proud to play a part in that.”
The success of the event and the match funding donation have left the team feeling energised and eager for more. “It’s incredibly satisfying to know we’ve made a difference, and we’re already looking forward to planning our next event!”
