Community, Both Inside & Out

Stephenson recently welcomed Andy’s Man Club to run two impactful sessions with our teams across the office, warehouse and manufacturing plant. These sessions provided a safe space for open discussions around mental health, reinforcing our commitment to fostering a supportive and inclusive workplace culture.

Partnering with Andy’s Man Club aligns with our values of wellbeing, teamwork, and open communication, helping to break down stigmas and encourage conversations that matter. By bringing these sessions into our workplace, we are strengthening team morale, promoting positive mental health, and ensuring that every employee feels heard and supported.

By supporting Leeds North and West Foodbank in Burley, we can help provide and support to local people referred to them during these tough times. This food bank is a part of a nationwide network supported by The Trussell Trust, working together to combat poverty and hunger across the UK. You can read some fantastic stories where support has helped change lives here.

Stephenson is proud to sponsor Truffle, a donkey at The Donkey Sanctuary, as part of our commitment to supporting animal welfare and sustainability. This sponsorship reflects our values of compassion, responsibility, and community engagement, extending beyond personal care to initiatives that make a real difference.

Caring for Truffle not only supports the sanctuary’s incredible work but also brings a sense of joy and connection to our team. Small actions like this help foster a positive workplace culture, reinforcing the importance of kindness—whether towards people, animals, or the planet.

We believe that businesses have the power to create real change. That’s why we’ve partnered with Toilet Twinning, an initiative dedicated to providing safe and hygienic toilet facilities in communities that need them most. This partnership reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability, wellbeing, and social responsibility.

By twinning our workplace toilets, we’re not only raising awareness but also making a direct impact on global sanitation challenges. This initiative strengthens our ethical values and reinforces how small actions can contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world.

Stephenson’s annual sports day is all about teamwork, friendly competition, and bringing people together from all areas of the business. By mixing up departments, colleagues get the chance to connect in a fun, relaxed environment while taking on a variety of creative challenges.

From a relay race around our site to a soap and spoon race and a ring toss challenge on our pond, each event is designed to spark laughter, encourage teamwork, and create lasting memories. It’s a highlight of the year that showcases our collaborative and spirited culture.

Stephenson embraces seasonal celebrations throughout the year, bringing energy and excitement to the workplace. From Valentine’s Day and Easter to sporting events like the World Cup and special occasions like Leap Year, these moments create opportunities for employees to connect, have fun, and enjoy a vibrant office culture.

Whether it’s themed activities, friendly competitions, or simply bringing people together, these celebrations help reinforce our positive and engaging work environment.

At Stephenson, birthdays are a time for celebration! Each employee receives a personalized card from our Managing Director, along with a Love2Shop gift voucher to spend wherever they choose. It’s a small gesture to show appreciation and make their special day even better.
