About the payment
At Hafod, we are passionate about supporting the well-being of our customers and colleagues, by continually looking at ways to offer help where we can.
We are aware that people are still struggling with the rising cost of essentials, such as food and fuel. For many, this time of year brings additional pressures as they try to balance household bills and the cost of festive celebrations.
To thank our colleagues for their tremendous work throughout 2023, we are delighted to be in a financial position to gift colleagues a one-off payment of £100 in December and another £100 in January to help with rising costs. We hope this token of appreciation will make a difference to you in some small way. For more information about the payments, including eligibility, please read the FAQs on the next page.
Our current nominated charity is The Trussell Trust who tackle food poverty. During the last 12 months, we are proud of the immense efforts colleagues have made by raising money and supporting the charity. As a thank you, we will also be making a financial donation to the Trussell Trust.
We also want to play our part in tackling food poverty and we have been exploring new ideas. These include community kitchens, investing in open spaces to encourage customers to grow food locally, and forging links to the European Institute for Innovation and Technology who are at the heart of international best practice.
As we look forward to what the new year holds, I am excited to see the positive impact you will have on our customers’ lives and know that together we will overcome any challenges we face.
This is likely to be the last year Care colleagues receive a physical card as we progress our digital transformation programme which will give all colleagues a Hafod email address in 2024.
Both the card and letter have been produced on FSC-certified paper and is fully recyclable, so for those of you with a physcial copy, be sure to pop them out for your recycling collection when you’re finished with them.
Finally, I encourage you to pause and take a moment to reflect on all that you have achieved this year. Please remember to take time to look after yourself; rest and recuperate ready for the year ahead.
Warm wishes to you and those dearest to you over the festive period.

Chief Executive
