In the community
Sequani is committed to supporting our local community. To underline
our belief that every little helps, we support projects and
initiatives locally. Many staff are generous with their time, effort
and skills, making a contribution to their communities in all kinds
of ways; as sports coaches, mentors, committee or PTA members,
school governors, youth leaders or treasurers, for example. We also
actively support local schools, colleges, universities and other
groups by discussing medical research and hosting visits to our
site.
Sequani encourages staff fundraising for charity and each year our
staff select a Charity of the Year which becomes the main focus for
staff fund raising.

who live and work in the town, and for the many thousands of
visitors who visit the town each year. It is also important to
promote a community spirit and environmental awareness.
