Impact Workwear Joins Connect Northumberland: Investing in Our Community

At Impact Workwear, being part of Northumberland means much more than simply doing business here. For 25 years we have been supporting local people, championing local causes and giving back to the communities that have supported us.

That is why we are proud to have joined Connect Northumberland, an initiative dedicated to making Northumberland a better place to live and work through collaboration, opportunity and community engagement. Connect Northumberland brings together organisations that are passionate about the future of our county and committed to creating positive change for local people, especially the next generation.

Together with Connect Northumbnerland's supporting members, Impact is proud to be part of the Connect Northumberland Network. 

Why Connect Northumberland Matters to Us

For Impact Workwear, joining Connect Northumberland is not about growing our business. It is about becoming part of a movement that is focused on strengthening communities, creating opportunities and supporting the people of Northumberland.

We have always believed that successful businesses have a responsibility to contribute to the places where they operate. Whether that is supporting local charities, working with organisations that make a real difference or helping create opportunities for people within our region, community impact has always been an important part of who we are.

Connect Northumberland's mission is to make Northumberland a better place to live and work for today and tomorrow, bringing together employers, educators and community organisations to improve opportunities across the county.

Supporting the Communities Around Us

Over the years, Impact Workwear has been fortunate to work alongside organisations that make a genuine difference to people's lives.

We have long supported the incredible work of Percy Hedley Foundation, helping an organisation that provides specialist support, education and care for people with disabilities and additional needs. Their commitment to empowering individuals and helping them reach their full potential is something we greatly admire.

We are also proud to support Wansbeck Valley Food Bank, recognising the vital role it plays in providing practical support to individuals and families facing difficult circumstances across our local communities.

These partnerships have reinforced our belief that businesses can have a positive impact beyond the products they sell. By giving our time, support and resources where we can, we hope to contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.

Building Connections That Make a Difference

What attracted us most to Connect Northumberland is its focus on people.

The organisation works to bring together employers and community partners to address local challenges, support young people, develop skills and create opportunities throughout Northumberland. By encouraging collaboration and shared responsibility, Connect Northumberland is helping organisations work together for the benefit of the region.

As a local business, we want to be part of those conversations and contribute where we can.

Whether that means supporting community projects, helping to inspire future generations, or simply sharing experiences with other organisations that care about Northumberland, we believe collective action can have a lasting impact.

Giving Back to the Area That Supports Us

Northumberland is our home. It is where our customers, suppliers, employees and partners live and work.

Joining Connect Northumberland reflects our commitment to ensuring that we continue to support the area that supports us. We believe that businesses should play an active role within their communities, and we are excited to work alongside others who share that same mindset.

By becoming part of the Connect Northumberland network, we hope to help create more opportunities, support local initiatives and contribute to a stronger sense of community across the region.

Looking Ahead

This is just the beginning of our journey with Connect Northumberland, and we are looking forward to getting involved in initiatives that make a real difference to local people.

Community has always been at the heart of Impact Workwear & PPE. From supporting organisations such as Percy Hedley Foundation and Wansbeck Valley Food Bank to building strong relationships with local businesses and charities, we remain committed to giving back whenever and wherever we can.

Joining Connect Northumberland is a natural extension of that commitment, and we are proud to stand alongside other organisations working to make Northumberland an even better place to live, work and thrive.
