About the corporate organisation

Through collaborations with Sunderland City Council and Sunderland Voluntary Sector Alliance, Hadrian Technology showcases a significant dedication to social value. They have gone the extra mile to support the local voluntary and community sector, aiding in enhancing outcomes for the community.
What was offered?
Hadrian Technology graciously provided a £550 cash donation to a voluntary or community sector organisation committed to enhancing the local environment or contributing to Sunderland's goal of becoming Carbon Neutral by 2040. The Social Value initiative was enthusiastically embraced by local organisations, leading to numerous applications from diverse groups. An independent panel carefully assessed these applications and, after thorough consideration, chose the Grindon Community Church Project as the recipient of the donation.
The Grindon Community Church project is located on Galway Road, near the A183 on the west side of Sunderland. Nestled within a housing estate, the Grindon United Reformed Church, constructed in the 1950s, actively engages with the community in numerous ways. Designated as a Mission Project of the Northern Synod of the United Reformed Church in 2010, Grindon URC serves as both a church for everyone and a bustling community centre. The £550 contribution from Hadrian Technology will help the Grindon Community Church Project enhance its energy efficiency and eco-friendly practices, ultimately benefiting the local community it serves.
How the Donation will be used
Hadrian Technology's generous donation will replace the outdated heaters in the Sanctuary Hall, which have been in service for over 30 years and are inefficient, non-eco-friendly, and prone to breakdowns. This upgrade aims to address the challenges faced by groups utilising the hall, such as toddlers, participants in the over 50's long-term illness exercise class, and those attending free sound baths. The current heating options are either inadequate or expensive, leading to environmental concerns and inefficiency.
