The donations reinforce Telehouse’s commitment to supporting local communities in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets, home to Telehouse’s London Docklands campus and Telehouse South. The recycled metal itself came from the redevelopment of the Telehouse South facility.
For First Love Foundation, the funds will make a significant impact by enabling it to continue its vital work addressing the root causes of poverty and crisis, rather than just providing temporary relief. With Telehouse’s donation, First Love Foundation will be able to offer rapid support to more individuals in need, including stopping wrongful evictions, supporting domestic abuse victims and reclaiming benefits for vulnerable individuals and families.
Leaders in Community will use the donation to inspire and empower more local young people in Tower Hamlets, which is known as one of London’s most deprived boroughs. The donation will support their Youth Leadership and Youth Social Action initiatives, helping young people develop personal resilience, overcome barriers to progression and speak out about community issues.
These programmes are closely aligned with Telehouse’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) strategy, which emphasises community support and social inclusion. Telehouse regularly funds local employment schemes, offers work experience, hosts tours and educational sessions for schools, colleges, and universities to increase knowledge of data centres and attract young, local talent to the industry.
In addition to the financial donations, Telehouse employees are working closely with the charities on other initiatives that will help to make a difference to the lives of people living within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. This July, Telehouse employees took part in the Saucony London 10k run, raising a total of £6,000 for their two chosen charities.
Denise Bentley, Co-Founder & CEO of the First Love Foundation, said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Telehouse in support of First Love Foundation's work transforming lives in Tower Hamlets, and beyond. Our partnership is testament to Telehouse’s commitment to the Tower Hamlets community which sits at the heart of our shared environmental, social and governance goals. We look forward to building on this in the year to come.”
Mark Pestridge, Executive Vice President & General Manager at Telehouse Europe, said: “At Telehouse, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back to the areas where we operate. Our recent donations to First Love Foundation and Leaders in Community, along with our ongoing volunteer efforts, are a testament to our commitment to making a positive difference in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. By supporting these incredible organisations, we aim to help address the immediate needs of the community and create a brighter future for everyone in the borough.”
Earlier this year, in March 2024, Telehouse contributed to the digital inclusion in the local community by donating 40 laptops to several Voluntary and Community Sector organisations.
