The team of four spent the day at Norton Grange Community Centre, just a few miles from our HQ, lending a hand at the Norton Grange Community Pantry, a vital resource for local residents in one of the most deprived areas of England.
Our volunteers rolled up their sleeves and got stuck in, unpacking deliveries, setting up food counters, serving countless cups of tea and coffee, and tackling a mountain of washing up. It was a humbling and eye-opening experience, highlighting just how vital these services are for many in our community.
Our Chief People Officer, Katie Woods-Ruddick, recently visited Skelton Primary School to speak with a group of enthusiastic Year 6 pupils about the power of education and the possibilities that lie ahead.
Invited by Andrew Stogdale from Spark Tees Valley, Katie introduced the students to the world of px Group and the wide range of careers available across our business, from engineering and operations to HR and Procurement.
Katie asked the pupils to group themselves by their favourite subjects and explore how their interests could shape future career paths. As they prepare to take their next big step into secondary school, we hope the session sparked some new ideas and ambitions.
Thanks to the determination of our women's networking walking group at the Stockton Head Office, we were able to contribute a fantastic amount of km and money towards the campaign. Although exceeding the target for the month in the first couple of weeks, the walking group continued to walk supporting the campaign.
The campaign aimed to raise £10,000 to amplify the voice of girls and women in Teesside and create real change in their lives.
Members of the px Women's Networking Group recently attended the Ladies at Lunch event, hosted by the Teesside Charity, it was a vibrant afternoon dedicated to celebrating women, community spirit, and charitable impact in the region.
Th event brought together women from across Teesside and beyond for a day of networking, inspiration, and meaningful conversation. Attendees heard guest speaker Bethany Ainsley's powerful story, and learned more about the vital work being done by The Teesside Charity to support individuals and families in the community.
Participation in events like this is a key part of px's commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive workplace. We're proud to support initiatives that not only benefit our team, but also contribute to the broader community.
Thanks to the generosity and kindness of our amazing team at the Stockton Head Office, we were able to contribute a fantastic selection of Easter treats that we hope made the holiday a little brighter for the individuals and families supported by Catalyst.
It’s always inspiring to see the power of small acts of kindness coming together to make a real difference in our community.
Recently, TGPP had the pleasure of welcoming 15 engineering students from NETA Training to site.
The visit began with an engaging introduction from Paul Middlemas, who gave the students valuable insights into the site's operations, processes, and the vital role safety plays in everything we do.
After the briefing, the students suited up in their PPE and were taken on a guided site tour, giving them the opportunity to see first-hand how engineering principles are applied in a real-world, operational environment.
It was fantastic to host such enthusiastic future engineers and support the next generation as they explore career paths in the industry.

On a day the British would call "bracing" & everyone else would simply refer to as "absolutely freezing", the px Group Energy Solutions team headed out in the wind & rain to Seaton Carew to collect rubbish, working with a local charity called Seascapes who work to raise awareness of the importance of coastal environments, organise beach cleaning & educate local communities.
Despite what looked like a clean beach from afar, the team were surprised by the volume of rubbish they managed to collect in just 2 hours, including bottle caps, straws, and sweet wrappers, as well as larger items like nets, lobster pots and an old tyre.
For those of you who have seen Blue Planet or the recent Planet Earth episodes will know the growing interest & importance of looking after our local environments, as well as the growing impact humans are having. SeaScapes Tyne to Tees is one of a number of organisations involved in the marine conversation.
