摘要

Lafarge are celebrating 15 years of grant-giving to boost community and environmental projects across the UK. Since 1996 and the introduction of the Landfill Communities Fund (LCF), the company has awarded £6.5million to good causes in areas close to its operations. Andrew Bate, general manager landfill and recycling for Lafarge Aggregates & Concrete UK, said: 'We are committed to supporting the communities around our operations and we recognize the importance of being a good neighbour. The LCF helps us do exactly that by providing funding for schemes all over the country. It's amazing to think how many millions of pounds we have awarded in the years since the LCF's inception. In 2010 alone, the year of this report, we gave in excess of £1 million.'
