#WeAreLeylandTrucks

As 2024 gears down, we wish you a magical Christmas and a fantastic New Year. 🎄✨ A huge thank you to our amazing colleagues, trusted partners, and valued customers. Your support means the world to us, and we’re excited to continue driving success together in 2025 and beyond. Here’s to new milestones, fresh opportunities, and a brilliant year ahead! #MerryChristmas #HappyNewYear #LeylandTrucks

At Leyland Trucks, we believe that supporting our community is as important as the quality trucks we produce. Through Leyland Trucks Helping Hand, our dedicated charity arm, we’re proud to strengthen local organisations that make a real difference – many of which touch the lives of our own people, their families, and their friends. As we reflect on 2024, we’re overwhelmed by what’s been achieved. Thanks to the generosity of our colleagues, suppliers, and partners, we’ve raised a huge amount which has been distributed to lots of fantastic organisations. From our Charity Ball to the annual #LinkingLeyland event, selling our very own XB honey, and participating in the Leyland Festival, this year has truly been a testament to what we can accomplish together. One organisation particularly close to our hearts is Derian House Children's Hospice, which provides vital care and respite for over 400 babies, children, and young people each year. This holiday season, Helping Hand directed a £3,000 donation to Derian House – funds made possible thanks to our partners at DAF dealership Ford & Slater. With these funds, we delivered hundreds of gifts from the hospice’s Christmas Wish List, including chocolates, board games, fidget toys, and worry dolls, spreading festive joy to the children and their families. We also supported Derian House’s #SayMyChildsName campaign, funding 100 personalised stamps for bereaved families to include their child’s memory in Christmas cards – a deeply compassionate initiative at an emotional time of year. Organisations like St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire, Rainbow Hub, Rosemere Cancer Foundation, Key Unlocking Futures, North West Air Ambulance Charity, The Foxton and Heartbeat NWCC have also benefited this year, enabling them to continue their incredible work in our communities. But we’re not stopping here! With 2025 on the horizon, we’re ready to do even more – and we need our colleague's ideas to help us grow our impact. 👉 Know a local cause we can support? 👉 Have a fundraising idea? 👉 Want to join the Helping Hand committee? We’d love to hear from you! Come and speak to one of the Committee members. Together, we’re building a legacy of generosity and community spirit – and we couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve achieved as a team. 📖 Read more about our support for Derian House Children's Hospice and their incredible work: https://hubs.li/Q030jZFQ0 #HelpingHand #GivingBack #CommunitySupport #Charity #LeylandTrucks

Last week's annual Christmas lunch was nothing short of magical – a buzzing atmosphere, festive cheer, and a chance for colleagues to come together before the festive break 🎅✨ A heartfelt thank you to St Catherine's Hospice, Lancashire for serving up a delicious feast. Their catering has been a cornerstone of our events throughout the year, and this lunch was exceptional. Special recognition goes to St Catherine’s army of amazing volunteers, whose dedication ensured today’s event was seamless. Thank you!
