GAP Hire Solutions, the UK’s largest independent hire company, proudly announces a remarkable milestone as its charitable foundation, GAP Giving, surpasses £1 million in donations to charities across the UK.
Since its inception in 2015, GAP Giving has contributed an impressive £1,122,553, benefiting over 1,000 charities nationwide, ranging from national organisations to smaller, local charities.
Established in 1969 by Gordon Anderson, GAP Hire Solutions has long upheld a culture of giving back to local communities. In 2025, the company celebrates the 10th anniversary of GAP Giving, reinforcing its commitment to philanthropy. Through this initiative, GAP donates 0.5% of its annual profits to charities chosen by its employees, ensuring support reaches causes that matter most to its workforce.
Douglas Anderson, Joint Managing Director, commented:
“Giving back to the community is something that has always been very important to GAP. It’s the reason why we introduced GAP Giving and all of our employees are encouraged to participate by nominating a charity that is close to their heart.”
GAP Hire Solutions empowers its 2,000+ employees to take an active role in charitable giving. Team members are encouraged to nominate charities that have made a meaningful impact on their lives, leading to direct donations through the foundation. Additionally, GAP Giving’s ‘Charity of the Month’ scheme enables each region, division, and Head Office department to select a charity to receive a £1,000 donation.
Furthermore, through the GAP Match initiative, the company matches funds raised by employees in sponsored events, up to £1,500.
Moreover, as part of GAP’s commitment to creating a sustainable impact on both its employees and the wider community, every GAP employee is entitled to take up to one day away from work to volunteer at local charities and community initiatives.
As GAP Giving marks this significant milestone, the company remains dedicated to its mission of supporting charities both big and small across the UK, strengthening its legacy of corporate social responsibility.
