MAKING A DIFFERENCE TO CHILDREN’S LIVES AT UKREiiF 2025 

This year we are proud to be partnering with Zarach – a Leeds-based charity working tirelessly to support children living in poverty, by providing beds to those without a safe, comfortable place to sleep.

As part of Winvic’s Doing It Right ethos and commitment to creating a positive impact – we have launched the ‘Beds for Beds’ campaign to raise funds for 24 bed bundles. These include a bed, mattress, bedding and pyjamas for children in need across the city.

We will honour 24 bundles to match the number of storeys at our Lisbon Street scheme and have teamed up with clients, partners and suppliers to encourage further support – match-funding every donation for every bed pledge to make the biggest impact. Visitors can contribute via a QR code in the Winvic and Partners Hub or online here.

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF CONSTRUCTION

Last year, Winvic hosted a panel discussion in the Industry in Focus Pavilion; How to Achieve a Net Zero Built Environment: The Challenges with Embodied Carbon Data and Accurate Whole Life Cycle Assessments.
