Gift-Aid Profits Boost Care and
Support
2 June 2010
Signpost
Services has gift-aided £80,000 of its annual profit to Signpost
Care Partnerships to boost care and support services to
residents.
For 10 years Signpost Services has positioned itself as a
community investment business. Its purpose is to provide excellent
repairs and maintenance services for social housing residents;
whilst aiming for secure employment opportunities for local
construction workers and their families.
Signpost Services' social payback does not stop there. The
Company seeks to pass on profits directly back into social housing.
The extra money gift-aided to Signpost Care Partnerships comes at a
time when Government spending is under review.
Clive Jones, Chairman of Signpost Services says,” We are
delighted to be able to positively contribute extra social value in
this way as SSL aims to re-cycle its contracting profits into
social housing and community investment.”
All remaining Company profits are retained within the business
and are reinvested into further service improvements for its
customers. This is helped by the fact that Signpost Services is
registered as Friendly Society and therefore does not experience
financial leakage through shareholder dividends.
Tracey Peters, Chairman of Signpost Care Partnerships added, “We
are absolutely delighted by the decision of Signpost Services to
gift-aid £80,000. This contribution will make such a difference to
our residents and we owe our thanks to the staff and management of
Signpost Services for their achievement.”
