The communities in which we operate are hugely important to us. They are where our employees and our future employees live. While many Forterra employees are active members of their communities, organising and participating in activities and events, we want to make it easy for local charities, clubs and groups to approach us directly for support. To facilitate this, we have established the Forterra Community Fund along with a dedicated webpage and online application form. Read about the Forterra Community Fund and how to apply.
