Brimmond charitable efforts step up a gear to help everyone get on their bikes

As a family business founded on the principles of trust, respect, collaboration and open-mindedness, Aberdeenshire-based engineering firm, Brimmond, have established close links with charitable causes in the local community.

The company recently established the Brimmond Community Fund to provide support for local charities and organisations close to the hearts of their staff members. Whether it is Kintore, Aberdeen, Peterhead, or Huntly, the key purpose of the Brimmond Community Fund is to ‘support the communities in which our people live’.

From education to sport, health to environment, the fund has made donations to a wide variety of worthy causes, including Huntly Pipe Band, Kintore United FC, Run Garioch, and local music charity, The Gaitherin.

Most recently, the Brimmond Community Fund has sponsored a trishaw on behalf of Cycling without Age Scotland. The charity, which has local hubs in Aberdeen City, Balmedie, Inverurie and Stonehaven, aims to enhance and enrich lives by giving elderly and disabled people access to the beautiful outdoors through trishaw rides.

Managing Director, Tom Murdoch said: “We set up the Brimmond Community Fund because we feel that giving back is important, we care about the people and the communities we work in.

“The Charity and Events committee chose to sponsor the Cycling without Age Scotland trishaw after our colleague, Jim, highlighted the fantastic work that the charity does to give people the opportunity to enjoy the great outdoors on three wheels! We are delighted that our Brimmond branding is proudly displayed on one of their trishaws, and look forward to seeing it out on the roads of Aberdeenshire in the coming months.”

The Brimmond team are passionate about supporting local charities, organisations, and initiatives, with staff regularly taking part in both fundraising and volunteering for good causes. In fact, the company has introduced matched funding as well as one paid volunteering day a year for each member of staff.
