Community is at the heart of who we are

At Thorne we believe in making a positive impact beyond our business. We are passionate about supporting local charities and community initiatives, giving our time, resources, and expertise to causes that truly matter. From fundraising challenges to hands-on contributions, we are committed to helping organisations that make a difference in people’s lives.

Pendleside Hospice

We are loyal supporters of Pendleside Hospice and take part in both their business and community events where we can.

Our contributions to date have included skydives, Tough Mudder races, golf days, cricket matches, sponsored walks, triathlons, and even a wing walk!

Burnley FC in the Community

We are proud to support the award-winning official charity of Burnley Football Club. This charity harnesses the power of football to improve lives and works diligently to fulfil its mission across Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale, the Ribble Valley, and West Yorkshire.

Recently, our team members Vicky and Reece participated in the charity’s Jailbreak event, where they were ‘banged up’ and had to raise their bail money to be released.

Their efforts included yard walks and consuming some rather dubious porridge, but it was worth it as, together with other participating businesses, we raised a significant amount (I need to confirm this final figure).

We also support the charity’s initiatives for veterans.

Accrington Stanley Community Trust

We have been supporting the Accrington Stanley Community Trust, which was originally established under the banner of Football in the Community in 2007, with the goal of connecting the professional club with the community.

We have sponsored the Shadow Youth Team’s home strip for several years and are proud to support young footballing talent in our area.

Armed Forces Support Group, Barrowford

Recently, we provided and installed intruder alarms and CCTV at the Armed Forces Support Group’s premises in Barrowford, free of charge. The group offers invaluable support services to all veterans in the area and does an incredible job.

They have recently expanded their office, with all the work donated by local businesses, which is truly heart-warming. Hadrian visited the chairman, Michael Sutcliffe, who presented us with a lovely certificate of appreciation, and our name is also on the plaque at their premises. It’s a wonderful example of a community coming together to do good.

Team RISE, Brierfield

TEAM RISE is a charity based in Brierfield that supports people from all across East Lancashire. The charity cares for adults who have a learning disability, autism, and those who are vulnerable, lonely, or socially isolated.

We provided their CCTV, fire alarms and intruder alarms at a heavily discounted rate.
