Telehouse International Corporation of Europe has turned recycled metal from the redevelopment of its Telehouse South facility into charity donations.

A donation of £15,000 each has been donated to two London Borough of Tower Hamlets charities ­– First Love Foundation and Leaders in Community.

First Love Foundation will use the funds to continue its work addressing the root causes of poverty and crisis in the area.

Leaders in Community will use the donation to support more young people in Tower Hamlets, helping fund their Youth Leadership and Youth Social Action initiatives.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Telehouse in support of First Love Foundation’s work transforming lives in Tower Hamlets, and beyond,” Denise Bentley, Co-Founder & CEO of the First Love Foundation.

“Our partnership is testament to Telehouse’s commitment to the Tower Hamlets community which sits at the heart of our shared environmental, social and governance goals. We look forward to building on this in the year to come.”

Mark Pestridge, Executive Vice President & General Manager at Telehouse Europe, added, “At Telehouse, we believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back to the areas where we operate. Our recent donations to First Love Foundation and Leaders in Community, along with our ongoing volunteer efforts, are a testament to our commitment to making a positive difference in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. By supporting these incredible organisations, we aim to help address the immediate needs of the community and create a brighter future for everyone in the borough.”

Telehouse employees previously took part in the Saucony London 10k run, raising a total of £6,000 for the two charities.
