Pavers Foundation

The Pavers Foundation was established in 2018 to enable charitable giving by the business and its staff to causes they care about. Aside from supporting two major charities each year – which will be chosen via employee vote – the Foundation welcomes applications from any of the business’s 1,700 employees for grants relating to health, education, or community in their local area. Pavers will also be contributing a percentage of annual profits to the Foundation on an annual basis. Stuart Paver, managing director at Pavers, said: “As a family, we wanted to share our success by helping causes that are personal to us, as well as those that matter to our colleagues, who work so hard every day. The Pavers Foundation allows everyone from all regions and areas of the business to get involved. “Everyone at Pavers will be able to submit grant applications for any local charity or initiative that means something to them. It could be a local community playground, a sponsored charity run, or a school raising money for repairs – as long as the application relates to health, education, or community, we will consider it”. The Pavers business is excited to be in a position to encourage philanthropy and look forward to awarding grants to help out in the communities in which we operate. Pavers is one of the UK’s leading shoe retailers, with a focus on comfort, quality and affordability. The footwear retailer was founded by Catherine Paver in 1971, and remains family owned today.
