Locally Comtec are dedicated to making a difference to the lives of those less fortunate in a number of ways, through charity support, volunteering and our working partnership with the Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club.
Community
Manchester Phoenix Community Sports Foundation
The Manchester Phoenix Community Sports Foundation was founded through the ongoing success of the Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club which is based at the Altrincham Ice Dome. Ice hockey is the fastest team sport in the world and has been an Olympic sport since 1920.
The Foundation was formed to provide services to deprived children and neighbourhoods in the UK focusing on the North West, which has the 4th highest level of child poverty across the UK.
With Comtec Presentations Ltd being based in Manchester we are all too aware of these statistics and the difficulties experienced by children and families in the North West and therefore jumped at the opportunity to be involved with the Manchester Phoenix Community Sports Foundation.
The Foundation aims to lend a helping hand in allowing these children to believe that they can achieve more in life. This charity intends to deliver a positive message and will encourage youngsters to participate in sport, and live a healthy life style. These children maybe disadvantaged because of a lack of money or a disability. They may be a full time carer or may be getting bullied. They could be experimenting with drugs or binge drinking.
Comtec Presentations involvement in the Manchester Phoenix Community Sports Foundation enables us to put something back into the community through school roadshows, hockey tournaments and drugs and bullying campaigns. These are just some of the ways that The Foundation will be talking to children and encouraging them to get active.
This fantastic cause will also open opportunities for a few of the lucky ones. As, through their ‘learn to play programme’ the selected few will obtain a 12 month sponsorship and a place in the Phoenix Juniors, through ‘The Academy.’
For the past 6 year’s Comtec have sponsored Manchester Phoenix Ice Hockey Club. Through our
affiliation with the club we have helped facilitate a number of Children’s Toy Appeals, School Roadshows, Charity Support
as well as aided in the junior development programme the club run, encouraging children in Manchester to lead a more active, healthier lifestyle.
Each week Comtec staff make a small donation to take part in our Charity Dress Down Day. By contributing a little
every week the amount for donation quickly builds up. In the past year we have donated to charities such as the Guide Dog Appeal and Shelter.
We are currently looking for opportunities for Comtec to volunteer our services. Do you run a local amateur
dramatics company in need of assistance with lighting?
Are you helping young people in the local area put on special performances and need a sound technician to oversee it all?
If so please contact us with the details of your group as we would love to help.
As well as considering the potential impact of our operation on our local environment, we feel it is important to
ensure we minimise any actions that are detrimental to the world.
As well as doing our best to look after the local environment, at Comtec we are striving to get the best out of our people and ensure that we all work in a safe and enjoyable environment.
