Since 2016, the VINCI UK Foundation, alongside our dedicated sponsors from VINCI subsidiaries, has supported 289 charities with over £1.6 million in grants. These contributions help charities continue their vital work in promoting social cohesion, combating exclusion, and enhancing the lives of vulnerable communities.

This year, the VINCI UK Foundation is proud to provide £230,153 in grants to 38 charities across the UK. NUVIA UK is honoured to sponsor three local charities, with grants totalling £21,992. What sets these partnerships apart is the direct involvement of our employees, who contribute their time, expertise, and dedication over a 12-month period to support these causes.

“The most rewarding part of working with the VINCI Foundation is witnessing the tangible difference we make. It’s not just about funding—it’s about empowering charities with the resources and skills they need to create long-lasting change in our communities.”
