Caring Hands is the umbrella brand for corporate citizenship activities at Siemens and is used across the world.

In Siemens Mobility, many of our employees are involved in volunteering work, fundraising for local charities and school careers events and projects.

We aim to engage staff at all of our sites, and all activities are coordinated by the individual sites.

Last summer our Ashby and Poole sites picked some local charities and organised fundraising activities inspired by the World Cup.  The fun included; dress down days, sweepstakes, cake sales, barbeques, score predicting, and competitions including beat the goalie, welly wanging, keepy uppys, table football and a Wii tournament.

Over £2000 was raised by employees which was then fund matched by Siemens to make £4000.

In Worcester Staff from Mobility and from the Siemens A&D business collected over 400 Easter eggs for the children's ward at the local hospital.

In Ashby one colleague undertook a challenge to run the London Marathon in aide of the Stroke Association , over £800 was raised in support through  numerous fund raising events as diverse as a sponsored diet and cake sales!

Generation 21 is the Siemens initiative to raise the profile of science and engineering among young people. By equipping young people with crucial knowledge and skills, we pave the way to a better future. To this end, we operate a number of advancement programs and engage in partnerships with schools and universities to encourage students from the locality and under-represented groups to follow STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Maths) subjects and promote Siemens as a key employer and good Corporate Citizen.
