Community

Being in a position to support community initiatives is a privileged one.

Whether it’s through financial contributions, pro-bono expertise, or our people giving up their time, we don’t take for granted the impact we’re able to make.

At NGP, we recognise that with success comes responsibility - not just to our customers and colleagues, but to the communities around us. That’s why giving back is part of who we are.

As a Real Living Wage and Disability Confident Employer, and a proud Inclusive Employer, we also remain committed to creating positive change within our own walls—because building stronger communities starts from within.

Supporting charities

Supporting charities has always been a big part of who we are. Whether through fundraising, donations, or simply raising awareness, we’re proud to play a role in helping others.

Over the past year alone, we’ve continued that commitment, supporting a range of causes that matter to our colleagues and our communities. From donating food parcels through Feeding Families, to backing brilliant initiatives like Smart Works Newcastle and Hebburn Helps, we’ve seen firsthand the impact that even small actions can have. We also hit a proud milestone recently, reaching over £30,000 in total donations to Cash for Kids – a cause we’ve supported for many years, helping children across the region when they need it most.

And that’s just the beginning. Through our company-wide Christmas charity vote, Macmillan Coffee Morning, and other colleague-led initiatives, we raised and donated over £86,000 to good causes, proof of how powerful our collective effort can be when we come together with purpose and heart.

Involving Communities

As a major employer with our HQ based on Gateshead Quayside, and teams globally based in UAE, Malta, India, and Paris, we’re proud to be part of diverse communities across the UK and beyond.

Many of our people have family, friends, or personal ties to causes close to their hearts, and we know that real impact starts with empathy and understanding. That’s why, as a business, we never take our position for granted. We actively look for opportunities to support those facing challenges, whether in our local neighbourhoods or across our wider global footprint.

From supporting grassroots projects to responding to global humanitarian efforts, we remain committed to doing what we can to uplift others and give back in meaningful ways.

Apprenticeship Support

We believe in potential and that sometimes, all someone needs is a chance to prove themselves. That’s why we’re proud to support apprenticeships that open doors and build futures. We work closely with Gateshead College, Learning Curve Group, and other trusted training providers to offer meaningful apprenticeship opportunities not only for school leavers but for anyone looking to further develop their skills and grow their career. Our apprentices play a valuable role in the business, and we’re committed to giving them the tools to succeed. This includes access to our Learning Management System, which supports continuous development through tailored training, upskilling, and self-led learning.

Giving Back to the Community

Giving back is at the heart of what we do. Across the UK and in our global offices, our colleagues continue to support causes that matter - through volunteering, charity partnerships, and grassroots initiatives that make a real difference.

Whether it’s donating gifts to children who might otherwise wake up with nothing on Christmas morning, taking part in community litter picks in our local area, collecting for local food banks, or supporting women back into employment, we’re proud of the positive impact we’re making together.

These efforts aren’t just part of a programme, they’re part of our culture. Driven by the passion, kindness, and generosity of our people, they remind us of the power we have when we come together to do good.
