RoomexGive

At Roomex, we take our responsibility to give back seriously. Give back to our customers, employees, and our community. From this, RoomexGive was born; an ethos to help us make positive changes to the way we work, live and travel.

Community Projects

Whether local or global, using brains or brawn, Roomex proudly supports many community projects and initiatives. RoomexGive empowers employees to pursue the projects that mean the most to them, harnessing their passions and skills to strengthen our communities and make the world a better place. To date, our employees have taken part in Techies for Temple Street, the Focus Ireland Christmas Appeal and Movember, and we hope to expand this list even further!

Mates in Mind

Mates in Mind is a leading UK charity raising awareness and addressing the stigma of poor mental health. Promoting and leading the development of positive mental wellbeing within the workplace. Mates in Mind works across industries, focusing on construction, as well as related sectors including transport, logistics, manufacturing, and others.

Mates in Mind aims to provide clear information to employers about the available support and guidance on mental health and wellbeing, and how they can address this within their organisations.

At Roomex, we believe that mental health is just as important as physical health and we are committed to supporting our customers and the wider workforce in prioritising mental wellbeing. By partnering with, and making a donation to, Mates in Mind, we hope to spread awareness and make a positive difference in the lives of workers across the UK.

One in four construction workers contemplate suicide or 26% of construction industry professionals thought about taking their own lives in 2019, as job security, long hours, time away from families, lack of support from HR, and late payments all contributed to the 'silent crisis'.

Our chosen charity, Mates in Mind, have estimated that U.K. construction workers are 10 times more likely to die from suicide than from a job site accident. One in six workers, reported the Centre for Mental Health, face at least one mental health issue, resulting in 91 million lost work days annually.

Paris2Nice

In July 2022, Roomex donated €500 towards Sigmar Recruitment's Paris2Nice fundraising effort. Paris2Nice is a non-competitive charity cycle that takes place every year in September. The cycle is over 6 days, starting in the French capital and ending in Nice, covering over 700km distance.

Roomex wanted to support Sigmar in their goal to fundraise for Saplings Special School, a special school for children aged 5 to 18 with autism and complex needs in Goresbridge, Co. Kilkenny.  You can read more about their fantastic fundraising efforts here.

Techies for Temple Street

In 2019, the Roomex team joined over 1,000 members of the tech community for a unique technology-themed treasure trail and helped Temple Street raise over $270,000, which saw the charity surpass their goal of $1 million over 5 years.

This allowed Temple Street Children's hospital to invest in a mass spectrometer for the hospital, keeping the hospital as up to date with technological advances as possible.

Focus Ireland Christmas Appeal

Roomex has proudly supported Focus Ireland's Christmas Appeal for the last 2 years.

In 2019, we donated over 80 gifts to Focus Ireland, and in 2020 while the gifts couldn't be donated due to COVID-19, we all sent a digital One4All voucher instead so we could continue to provide support in such tough times.

This all in an effort to support the actions of Focus Ireland who are constantly fighting the rising numbers of adults and children who are homeless on our streets.

You can learn more about the actions of Focus Ireland here.

Movember

Every hour 60 men are lost around the world to suicide.

Men are dying too young and together we can help to make a difference. From prostate cancer to testicular cancer, mental health and suicide, the men in our lives need our help. Last November 13 of our employees took part in Movember in an effort to raise money with the goal of helping the men in our lives live longer. As a group not only did we grow moustaches but we also moved over 700km as a group, raising over $3,800!
