We are absolutely thrilled to share that PROCare has been awarded Gold membership in Wigan’s Believe in Business Charter. This recognition celebrates our deep commitment to local employment, sustainability, and community support.
At PROCare, we believe that business is about more than just products - it’s about people. That’s why we actively invest in making Wigan a better place for everyone. Whether it’s funding local football teams, improving public spaces, providing specialist accessible facilities for community farms, or supporting unpaid carers, we are proud to be a business that gives back. This achievement reinforces our role as a leader in the housing sector for inclusive design and accessibility, and we couldn’t have done it without the support of our amazing team and community partners.
Strengthening Local Manufacturing & Employment
As a Wigan-based business, we are deeply invested in local job creation and economic development. With 93 employees in the borough, including 79 Wigan borough residents, we prioritise fair wages, apprenticeships, and training opportunities. Our recent acquisition of Greater Manchester-based Autumn UK has further strengthened our manufacturing capabilities and expanded local employment, reinforcing the region as a hub for high-quality specialist bathroom adaptations.
Commitment to Community & Sustainability
Our dedication to the community goes beyond business. We actively support local groups such as Orrell NewFold Community Primary School, Cherrybrook Football Club, and Highfield Grange Football Club, helping local kids get involved in sport. Through our partnership with Green Slate Community Farm, we’ve supplied communal toilet and specialist Doc M bathroom products, ensuring accessibility for all members of the community. Additionally, our work with The Brick Project has focused on tackling poverty, providing food donations, and supporting those in need.
Beyond direct contributions, we champion unpaid carers with a progressive policy that recognises their vital role. We also offer free training to local organisations and occupational therapists, empowering professionals with the knowledge to create more accessible environments. Sustainability is another cornerstone of our work - we’re actively reducing waste, implementing eco-friendly practices in the workplace, and working towards Planet Mark Certification.
Looking Ahead
Our vision is to lead the housing sector in inclusive design, ensuring all homes and communities are accessible to everyone. Achieving Wigan's Believe in Business Award - Gold Accreditation is a huge milestone for us, and it only strengthens our commitment to innovation, collaboration, and resilience in creating a more inclusive future.
Thank you to our team, our customers, and our community for making this possible - we couldn’t do it without you!
