We are incredibly proud to announce a two year corporate charity partnership with the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund, a remarkable Essex-based cancer charity providing emotional, practical and financial support to families with a children/child facing childhood cancer.
Lennox holds a very close place in the hearts of every single member of the team and it’s great to be having the charity as our first charity partner. To launch the partnership during Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, CEO Tony Harris donated £25,000k on behalf of OCL, to support the life-changing work Lennox carries out everyday.
Alongside this huge donation, we have pledged to raise a further £25,000 over the next two years taking us to 2027.
With the help of our dedicated employees, supply chain partners and supporters, we have exciting fundraising initiatives already in planning. Whether through charity events, team challenges or collaborative campaigns, we look forward to making a meaningful contribution to this extraordinary cause.
This partnership reflects OCL’s values as a family-run contractor. Just as we build safer, stronger and more resilient spaces in our construction work, we are equally committed to strengthening the communities around us.- Rebecca Harris, SHEQ Director
From Christmas donations and present wrapping to putting forward an OCL team to play at the TEC Supplies charity football tournament – the team have been supporting the opportunities to raise money for Lennox. Our very own SHEQ Director – Rebecca Harris, took on the mighty London Marathon raising over £6k for Lennox! Sporting an injury early on during the marathon – she did not let that defeat her, she carried on for the cause.
The team’s take on the biggest challenge to date – as 10 members of the team take part in the Hike Bike and Paddle Challenge at Mount Snowdon in September 2026. Our CEO – Tony Harris will be leading the pack and will no doubt be there to rally on the troops. Everyone is behind them and with the target of raising £5300 – the team have almost doubled this!!
