A PROUD HISTORY OF SUPPORT...

THE presentation by Lady Bamford, right, continued JCB’S proud history of raising money for the NSPCC.

A highlight came in the summer of 2000 when employees raised £1 million for the charity – a sum which was doubled to £2 million by the Bamford Charitable Trust.

The feat was repeated in 2014 when employees again raised £1 million, and which was again doubled by the trust. The proceeds of that campaign were used to buy a service centre for the NSPCC in Newcastle, named Carole House in honour of Lady Bamford and the company’s long-standing support.
