CEO introduction
Since joining PHS I have been delighted to learn of
the varied and inspiring work that so many of our
employees undertake in their own time to support
charities and local communities. I ﬁrmly believe that,
as a business, we should have a positive impact upon
the wider community and it is therefore heartening
to hear the stories of PHS people who are making a
real diﬀerent in their areas.
I have been impressed by the huge number of
applications made to our Community Impact Awards
scheme, even if this will have given the Foundation
Committee an even harder job to select the very
worthy winners. This year the Employee Choice
award also gave you all an opportunity to take part in
the selection process and I was pleased to see how
many of you took the time to cast your votes. In fact
we had so many votes for all three candidates it was
felt only fair to give the other two organisations a
runners up award as well.
I wanted to say thank you to everyone who applied
for the award and a much deserved well done to the
11 winners. It is impressive to have such ambassadors
for PHS who work so tirelessly for their causes.
I hope you enjoy reading the enclosed
winner’s stories.

as a washing machine.

Handsworth rugby club recruits members from
some of the most deprived areas of Birmingham
and the Black Country. The club also has a
number of members who are serving police
oﬃcers which has led to a focus on promoting
membership to ex-oﬀenders. They believe that
the structure and team work required helps to
increase social skills and aide rehabilitation
back into society. As another of the ﬁnalists in
the Employees Choice category, PHS has
provided a runner up award of £250. Your
votes mean that the Rugby Club will now
have money to ﬁnally buy essential
equipment for the “Junior” teams.
