Our Commitment to Community and Social Value

Putting People and Purpose First

At HOB, we believe that true success goes beyond business. It’s about giving back, creating lasting relationships, and supporting the communities that surround us. Our social value initiatives are a key part of our company ethos — investing in people, nurturing young talent, and helping local causes thrive.

 

Supporting Youth Through Sport: Dartford Under 13s Football Team

We are proud sponsors of the Dartford Under 13s Football team — a team that reflects our values of teamwork, determination, and growth. Our support helps provide essential  kits for training sessions and tournaments. By backing grassroots football, we help give young players a safe, structured environment to develop their skills and confidence both on and off the pitch.

 

Caring for Families: Seashells Children's Centre - Sheerness

HOB proudly supports the Seashells Children’s Centre, a vital local resource providing support services to families and children in need. From early years education to parenting support and health guidance, the centre plays a crucial role in strengthening family bonds. We contribute through donations, awareness campaigns, and volunteering, ensuring vulnerable families have access to the care and resources they deserve.  SEASHELLS

 

Investing in the Future: Student Work Placements

We’re passionate about inspiring the next generation. Working in partnership with Medway Education Business Partnership, HOB offers school student work placements to help young people gain first-hand experience in a professional working environment. Students are mentored by our team, developing practical skills, confidence, and an understanding of career pathways within our industry. Our goal is to open doors and broaden horizons — giving every student the opportunity to succeed.

 

Our Social Value Promise

Through our partnerships, placements, and community projects, HOB is committed to creating positive, measurable impact. Whether it’s empowering youth, supporting local services, or nurturing future talent, we strive to make a difference where it matters most.

 

If you are a local group, school, or organisation interested in collaborating with HOB, we’d love to hear from you!
