Home - Prologis Dock Doors of Giving

Giving back to charity and supporting the communities close to our Prologis Parks and offices is an important part of our culture and is integral to our ParkLife initiative

The pandemic has left many people reliant on the help of charities at a time when many have seen donations fall away or decrease. That’s why, throughout December, our dock doors of giving initiative will see our teams across Europe work tirelessly to volunteer, raise much-needed funds and donate essential items to help make Christmas just that little bit brighter for those in need.

Join us on our journey and please take time to learn more about the good causes we’re supporting and how you can help them help others.

Let’s use this month to change lives.

Cure Leukaemia

Founded in 2003 by Professor Charlie Craddock CBE and patients Graham Silk and Michael Woolley, Cure Leukaemia helps to bring pioneering drug and transplant treatments to blood cancer patients across the United Kingdom. The charity has committed £3m from 2020-22 to fund the Trials Acceleration Programme (TAP) comprising a network of 12 blood cancer centres across the UK. Cure Leukaemia fund specialist research nurses at these centres allowing clinical trials of pioneering and potentially life-saving treatments for blood cancer to run giving patients from a catchment area of over 20m access to these new drugs. Cure Leukaemia also funds the TAP’s Hub based at the internationally renowned Centre for Clinical Haematology at Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham to co-ordinate these pioneering trials. Without the expert research nurses to ensure patients are constantly monitored and cared for; these trials would not run, and patients would miss the opportunity to access potentially life-saving therapies. The aim of Cure Leukaemia is to raise money to fund more research nurses and provide world-class treatment for its patients. Only by funding more nurses in more hospitals, can more blood cancer patients benefit from access to potentially life-saving treatment.One person is diagnosed with blood cancer every 14 minutes: click on the link below and find out how you can help this amazing charity.

The Dock Doors of Giving campaign is about so much more than donating money to charities. It’s also about donating time, pledging to buy gifts, donating food or other essential items and raising awareness for these charities and good causes so others can help them too.

Through our culture and our Prologis Parks we strive to be a force for good in local communities and this campaign helps us come together and show how, together with our customers and supply chains, we can really make a difference.
