Supporting our community in the Philippines
Our primary charity is the Ninos Pag Asa Centre, based in Olongapo, Philippines. It is an centre for those who are not supported by any other agency, giving medical assistance, educational programmes, skills training and community-based rehabilitation to its residents as well as those in the wider community.

Volunteering across the globe
Volunteering is really important to us at Global Marine Group. We give each of our employees across the globe up to three days of paid leave to take part in volunteering opportunities within their local communities ensuring that we do our part in giving back.
“The volunteering programme run by the business is a great initiative. It’s an important way to allow staff to showcase and support the issues that are important to them – like we did with the walk challenge for Motor Neurone Disease Association.
I’ll definitely take part in next year’s big challenge and it’s also planted the seed for doing more community voluntary work in the future as well.” Claire, Finance Business Partner.
