Our
community support programme
is focused on the local
communities where our
businesses operate. Examples
include:
-
WFI
supports the Kondinin group,
a leading not for-profit
farm improvement group. The
support enabled a research
report on rural health
covering accidents, depression, general health and a range of safety issues
specific to farming. The
report content was published
online
and in regional
press.
-
LI supports a range of
social causes and community
groups. It is a corporate sponsor of the Create Foundation which supports young
people in foster care. LI also provides substantial sponsorship to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and is a supporter of the
Lumley Exchange Research Fellowship of Surgeons.
