When Anderson Maguire Funeral Directors was first established in 1982, our Chairman Dom Maguire, innately knew that he wanted the company to play an active role within the communities we serve. Over the past 33 years, we have sponsored a vast amount of local community initiatives which have helped countless charitable causes deliver real and tangible benefits for the people of Glasgow and beyond.
Paul Webb, Managing Director of Anderson Maguire, commented:
We have decided to launch the Anderson Maguire Foundation as the umbrella name for our community involvement. Being a good business is not solely defined by how much money or profits we make, it also means behaving and acting in a manner where we give beyond what we contribute to the community through leading the way in funeral service delivery. Giving back means benefiting the community in whatever way we can – after all, without the community’s support, our businesses wouldn’t exist and we truly believe that we have a social responsibility to make a positive change to the world. Our community involvement not only benefits good causes, it also makes a huge difference to our employees knowing that they are making a difference to the lives of people within their local community.
The Anderson Maguire Foundation is part of the company’s corporate social responsibility team which meets on a monthly basis to identify and support worthy community initiatives. In the past few years, Anderson Maguire has sponsored local school football teams; school children going to Malawi to build educational facilities; annual local bowling tournaments; Yorkhill Hospital ENT department; Castlemilk High School trip for under privileged children; the Sparkle of Hope charity ball; Boswell Athletics Football Club, Social Bite, MacMillan Cancer Support and many other worthy causes.
