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.
