Blues Foundation Manager, Tom Harwood said: “We are extremely lucky to have so much support from businesses within Bedfordshire, who share our passion for having an impact in the local community, and we’re extremely grateful to UK Truck & Plant Group for joining us on the journey for at least the next 12 months.

“We’re all really looking forward to working with Ashley and the team at UK Truck & Plant Group and are really excited by what the future now holds for our charity.”

As well as becoming headline sponsors, UK Truck & Plant Group have also become a key sponsor in our Tackle LIFE programme, which continues to run with great success across the county working with students who are disengaged or uninterested in mainstream education.

UK Truck & Plant Group’s Managing Director, Ashley Weller has committed his support to offering upskilling workshops as part of our flagship project’s offering, with further members of the company also set to get involved. This will allow even more young people additional opportunities to fulfil their potential.

Ashley Weller Said:

“We are looking forward to working with The Blues Foundation, and being able to support the local youth of Bedford, giving them moral, educational and social support through the TackleLIFE campaign. As a local employer, we are keen to give those who may have fallen out of mainstream education, the ability to gain skills for employment, training and qualifications, in an adult learning environment, whilst also enabling them to become part of a wider responsible community. The initiative is part of our three pillars of company commitment, to invest within the local community and to encourage youngsters into skilled employment that may not have been able to access within a school environment.”

Blues Foundation are extremely grateful to all our affiliated sponsors, charity fundraisers, CHAMPIONs and general supporters for their assistance in allowing the charity to do what it does and continue to make a systematic difference to residents throughout Bedfordshire.

It simply would not be possible to carry out the volume of work currently on offer without support like this and we are very grateful to be located within a town with such a passion for helping others.
