Northstone charity safety challenge raises a total of Ł562,000 for Simon Community Northern Ireland.

Northstone, the leading building materials company in Ireland, has raised a total of Ł562,000 since the partnership began in 2007. The Northstone Simon Safety Challenge is an all-island initiative that assists Simon Community in tackling homelessness both north and south of the border. For every accident free quarter (three months) achieved at any Northstone company, a sum of money is donated to the Simon Community. The three-year partnership started in 2007 and at the end of 2009, Northstone committed to extend its partnership for an extra year to help Simon Community strengthen communities and address homelessness in Ireland whilst encouraging employees to improve their health and safety record.
