Our Charity & Community Work

December 2025

We wish Ben Halton from DP World the absolute best of luck with his second marathon, being run, once again, in aid of Children with Cancer. We are delighted to support Ben with such a worthy cause, and the story of his motivation to support them again was heartfelt.

We are delighted to be supporting the New Forest Hounds Point to Point at Larkhill Racecourse again this year!

Always a great day—but definitely need to wrap up warm, it can be cold on the course.

A lovely pre-Christmas meet!

Millbrook FC JPL U13’s and Millbrook FC Titans U13’s (including Gareth Lambert’s son) are now looking smart in Earlcoate sponsored jackets. “They’re great and all of the boys are really happy/proud to wear them.” 

Cancer Research UK received £6,000. “In the last 50 years, our work has helped double cancer survival in the UK. Finding new ways to detect cancer at an early stage has played an important role in this.”  

Prostate Cancer UK “We truly cannot thank you enough for this extremely generous donation (£3,000).” Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. 1 in 8 men will get it. “We’re standing to-gether to support our dads, brothers, partners and friends – by raising awareness, funding lifesaving research, campaigning for change and providing helpful support and information.” 

Alzheimer’s Society; “A huge thanks to all the amazing people at Earlcoate Construction who have today shown that when we work together, we can achieve such amazing things. Thank you for partnering with us and investing in our cause with a generous donation of £3,000…We will ensure that we make every penny count…You’re making a huge difference.” 

Stronger Together Across Ringwood and Fordingbridge (STARF) received £3,000. “This money will directly help and change four children’s lives with counselling…thank you” 

Following the super success of the Earlcoate Charity Open Day, at which £25,000 was raised, we have distributed the funds to several different charities. 

The Salisbury Hospice received £5,000 “A massive thank you for your generous donation of £5,000!” 

The Stars Appeal associated with Salisbury Hospital received £5,000—it was great to see the Sarum Children’s Ward and understand where valuable donations like ours are used. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to everyone who helped us raise an awesome £25,000 for charity at our annual Charity Open Day. We were lucky enough to have the perfect weather, sunny but not unbearably hot. We had a wonderful turn out for our display, some lovely classic cars (thank you Steve Brooks et al—love your Zephyr!), some classic motor bikes, a brilliant display of American trucks (thank you Gerry and friends) and some beautiful exam-ples of working steam engines, who were good enough to provide some trailer rides around the field, a real treat for the kids and grown-up kids amongst us!

Bill and the team did a great job of working on a display, and Woodward Tree Surgeons put on an interesting display of tree felling. Folds Farm beefburgers, sausages and venison burgers were expertly cooked on the new bespoke Caterpillar BBQ and served by Cindy and Paul Rolph and their crew—a long day cooking in the heat! Bacon rolls, to get the day started, with tea and cakes throughout the day, provided and served by Sian and her team.

It was great to have support too from the charities benefiting from the day, providing a bit of light entertainment in the form of games for our younger audience, who also enjoyed the free bouncy castle.

We are proud to say that 100% of the money taken from the entry, the BBQ, the tea tent and the raffle goes to charity—we do not recoup any of the expenses we incur from putting the event on. Lots of staff and friends helped make the day a success and gave up their Saturday volunteering with us—apologies if you are not named here, but we know who you are, and you are stars. Thank you.

We were delighted to sponsor Natalie in her recent Jurassic Coast Mighty Hike in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support. Natalie raised an amazing £556! Following a Lymphoma diagnosis in her partner’s family, twelve members of her family took on the arduous walk along a section of the beautiful Jurassic coastline. Together they raised an amazing £2,702.

The event itself raised a total of £935,000!!! Could it be you next year?! We’d love to hear about your fundraising challenges. We are always pleased to support you and help you reach your fundraising target. 

We were pleased to sponsor Andrew Hallam from our long-time customer, Associated British Ports, as he took on the ‘Pedal, Paddle, Pace’ event.

Andrew said, “Thank you so much for your support in our recent charity challenge.

This event has raised £4,871 for our charity of the year, the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance. It was very hot and tiring, but great fun as well. A 42-minute ride, 26-minute run and 18-minute kayak” 

We had another beautiful evening up at the beacon on the Farm when we joined the country to celebrate VE Day with the lighting of the beacon at 9.30 pm. A really well-attended event, a great BBQ and not too cold! With everyone’s generous donations, we raised £4,850 for Cancer Research and SSAFA—the armed forces charity. 

When local Woodgreen resident Ann Blake called and asked for some help making an informative film to raise awareness and funds for the Muscular Dystrophy charity, a condition she suffers from herself, we were pleased to help.  Having been in great health and living a normal life like us all, Ann was diagnosed in 2018 with this muscle-wasting disease. Reeling from that diagnosis, she then found out her son also had the condition.  Determined to make the most of her new situation and to help others, Ann, along with her disability assistance dog Snoopy, is raising awareness for both the MD charity and ‘Dog A.I.D’ (Dog Assistance in Disability) charity.

Ann wrote a short film in which she is caught at a set of roadworks (enter Earlcoate) and made to stop.  As a fast and furious Porsche driver pulls up intimidatingly beside her, the road works turn green and she is waved on through, before the Porsche.  A metaphor for an attitude towards life—don’t let things hold you back.

Andy Goudge (aka Five-Bar) and Fred Pearce got themselves into some clean hi-viz, took a freshly washed transit and van, Stop/Go boards and some traffic cones and took themselves up to Stony Cross near Cadnam, as the chosen ‘set’ for filming.  With a local Emmy award-winning cameraman directing the show, they did a great job—and there is a particular layby in the New Forest that has never been swept so clean, thanks to Fred!!

“Thank you on behalf of all the children who now look the best in their new kit…your generosity helps our players look the part and feel their best on the pitch. Thank you for being part of the Swanage & Wareham Rugby Football Club family!”

Ensuring our construction community can easily access the emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support they need and to develop healthy and sustainable futures for this generation and the next.
