Domino pays it forward with £27k charity support

Bar Hill-based Domino and its employees have helped local, national and international charities with a total sum of nearly £27,000, making an important contribution to many which rely on donations for survival.

Causes in the Cambridge community helped during 2025 include: Bar Hill Playground Development Project, Somersham Scouts, Bar Hill British Legion, St Ives and Bar Hill Cricket Clubs, Longstanton Colts Girls’ Football Team, Stretham Sporting Football Club, St Ives Golf Club Captains’ Day, Rotary Club of Cambridge and Chariots of Fire.

British Heart Foundation, Papyrus Suicide Prevention, Stroke Association and Young Lives vs Cancer were among the national charities receiving support, and for the second year running an international educational charity, the Children of Kabale in Uganda, benefitted from funds to help establish a school for local children.

The largest single initiative involving 39 Domino employees raised more than £3,000 for Movember, a global charity improving men’s health by funding innovative projects in mental health, suicide prevention, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer.

Seasonal support saw a Christmas Jumper Day in aid of Save The Children and a visit by Domino’s Santa and Elves to Castle School in Cambridge to deliver gifts for the pupils with special educational needs.

Sharon Viccars, Domino Internal Communications Manager, said: “Supporting our community remains a key commitment for us as a business and 2025 was no exception. Over the last year, we have contributed to a wide range of causes, regionally, nationally and internationally. As always, we are grateful and impressed by the inspiration and enthusiasm of our employees who have tackled challenges to raise funds for causes that are important, whether on our doorstep or further afield.”

As well as giving back to its communities through charities, Domino furthered its links with education, hosting a visit from a local college to raise awareness of careers in manufacturing, participating in the annual Physics At Work initiative organised by Cambridge University’s Cavendish Labs and partnering with Bar Hill Primary School to deliver a science workshop. Volunteers also helped Switch Now, a local project supporting young adults with learning difficulties and disabilities.
