Ridgmont, and all subsidiary companies, actively support the local community and service charities.
Ridgmont
Herefordshire Veteran Support Centre
Ridgmont continues to provide direct support to a number of injured veterans, helping with medical fees associated with unusual conditions, provision of equipment (such as electric bikes), and the use of drivers/vehicles to enable far-flung medical appointments.
Matt Hudd’s Martial Arts Centre
Ridgmont supports Matt Hudd’s Martial Arts Centre; a not-for-profit Community Interest Company that provides invaluable support to elements of our local community that are often overlooked by the broader system. Matt himself is a qualified Mental Health practitioner as well as a Martial Arts Instructor, and combines these skills to provide support and training (at no cost) to both physically and mentally disadvantaged members of our community. Matt and his Team also deliver martial arts instruction to hundreds of local children, developing confidence, whilst promoting wellbeing and fitness.
Cancer charities
Cancer rates continue to grow across UK and the need for research has never been greater. Last year Ridgmont Group sponsored Jo Canton-Smith in her Ride London event, helping to raise over £6000 for MacMillan Nurses, and later in 2024 she will Ride Across Britain (Lands End to John O’Groats) to raise funds for Cancer Research.
Our subsidiary companies
Charitable company award
We are particularly proud of Level Peaks Associates, who were awarded ‘Most Charitable Company’ by the Chamber of Commerce, for their work during the COVID pandemic. Their support to local sports teams, elderly members of our rural population, NHS organisations, local food charities, and veteran charities proved vital during lockdown periods.
Level Peaks Associates continues to support numerous local and veteran orientated charities, including sponsorship of the new Hereford University and in 2023 they were a key sponsor of the Invictus Games, donating equipment and funding.
Global veteran support
Swiss Tactics have created their own charity: Veterans First – VTRN1ST. It enables members of the public to get involved with supporting the global veteran community, through the purchase of exceptionally high quality merchandise. It already has won the support of several brand ambassadors, including ‘Obi Wan Nairobi’ himself, veteran SAS soldier, Christian Craighead.
Veteran motorsport team
Frontier have proudly got behind the military veteran race team, Kiaana Motorsport, that is partnered with The Army Benevolent Fund, and employs service personnel and veterans in the motorsports and engineering arena.
Armed Forces Covenant
Level Peaks Associates have been supporters of the Armed Forces Covenant since its inception and now hold the coveted Gold Award, and Sutton House have already achieved Silver Award status. The covenant is a force for good amongst the veteran community and adds real benefit to veterans and their families.
