CMP Strengthens Community Impact with New Multi‑Charity Approach
Posted by: electime 5th June 2026
CMP Products is evolving its approach to community engagement in 2026, expanding its support to five carefully selected charities across the North East.
In recent years, the Cramlington‑based manufacturer of cable glands, cleats and accessories has supported a Charity of the Year, enabling focused fundraising and awareness activity. While this approach has been successful – including raising £20,000 for Anxious Minds last year – the company has chosen to broaden its support as part of its continued growth and commitment to making a more meaningful impact.
Under the new approach, CMP will support a small number of organisations whose work closely reflects the causes its people care about most and aligns with the company’s Vision, Mission and Values.
The organisations CMP will support are:
- FACT Cancer Support – Providing practical and emotional support to people affected by cancer across the North East.
- Hope Centre (Cramlington) – A social ministries hub offering community support services including food and uniform banks and grief support.
- Azure Charitable Foundation – Supporting young people with special educational needs and disabilities, enabling greater independence through employment training and workplace partnerships.
- Anxious Minds – Delivering early intervention and sustained mental health support for individuals and families.
- Local dog and cat shelters – Helping care for and rehome animals in need within the region.
This broader framework allows CMP to build deeper, longer‑term partnerships while giving employees more opportunities to contribute – whether through fundraising, volunteering, making donations or raising awareness.
Leanne Branfoot, Human Resources Advisor and Culture Champion at CMP, said: “Supporting our local communities has always been important to us. As CMP grows, we want our community impact to grow with it. The Group made the decision to expand beyond a single charity to enable us to reflect the passions of our people and respond more thoughtfully to different needs across the region.
“It’s about supporting each organisation in the way that matters most – and ensuring our contribution is both meaningful and sustainable.”
CMP has already begun working with the Azure Charitable Foundation, providing workplace experience opportunities for students, with further initiatives planned throughout 2026.
By strengthening and diversifying its partnerships, CMP is reinforcing its commitment to achieving more together – creating positive impact across the communities it serves.
