#BekoGiving
Beko believes strongly that it has a responsibility in giving back to local communities, services and charities to make a positive difference in people’s lives. Through charitable giving of our appliances, as well as fundraising, giving back to our local communities is one of our priorities.
At the beginning of April 2020, Beko plc launched their #BekoGiving initiative to show appreciation to those on the frontline of the Covid-19 crisis, as well as charities and services that support the vulnerable.
To date the initiative has seen more than 1,600 products donated to over 50 NHS hospitals, care homes and charities spanning the breadth of the country to recipients including NHS Imperial Hospital, NHS Nottingham, ambulance stations, Acorns Childrens Hospice, St Marks Hospital, Signposts and Aspire Oxford to name just a few.
