Krizevac project
When St Albans Primary School in Macclesfield reached out to their Account Manager, Sharon, about buying some new furniture for their classrooms, they found themselves in a pickle with how to dispose of 150 tables and 350 chairs. Fortunately, Sharon had a plan. She put St Albans in touch with the Krizevac Project.
The Krizevac Project is a non-profit organisation that provides educational support across some of Africa’s most disadvantaged communities. With their help, St Albans have donated all of their old classroom furniture to schools in Africa and helped provide high quality education to the most vulnerable.

wood you believe it?
Back in September 2024, Antalis invited Heatons to their annual tree-planting day in Penrith, so we sent Drew Kale, Paul Williams and Nickie Galvin to attend.
Organised by Antalis in partnership with Forest Carbon Ltd, pioneer of carbon-financed woodland creation in the UK, we spent the day learning about the great work that they're doing, and to plant some trees of our own.
By attending, we helped add to the 9,000 plus broadleaf and coniferous trees Antalis and its customers have already planted on the six-hectare site. Through the planting and management of these trees, over 2,500 tonnes of carbon dioxide will be captured.

Local Litter Pick
We collected more than 15 full bags of rubbish on a litter pick at Eastham Woods and Leverhulme Sports Fields.
Staff together with their families collected, amongst other things, old fireworks, plastic bags and empty drink cans, left behind by litterbugs.
Litter picking is a key way to prevent plastics from breaking down and entering the food chain as microplastics, as well as creating cleaner, greener spaces for everyone to enjoy.
“Hopefully, we made a small contribution to improve the environment on our doorstep, as well as protecting local wildlife, like hedgehogs and swans often injured by the rubbish people leave behind. It’s a great way to encourage our little ones to care for nature and help them understand they can make a big difference. They looked like they enjoyed it too!”
