40 YEAR ANNIVERSARY JCB & NSPCC APPEAL
The NSPCC is the UK’s leading children’s charity and every year it helps to keep over a million children safer through its work with schools, national helplines, and specialist centres.
Over the last 40 years JCB has donated over £5 million to the NSPCC which has been raised through a variety of charity events including bike rides, lotteries, concerts, raffles, and a host of other sponsored events.
JCB, over the next two years, is committed to raising £2 million pounds for the NSPCC by launching the 40 year anniversary JCB/NSPCC appeal.
LEARN MORESportive 2023
Following on from the success of last year’s non-competitive cycling event - Sportive, we’re pleased to announce the second event will take place on Sunday, September 17th, 2023.
- The Sportive Event is open to members of the public of all ages and abilities and JCB employees.
- Last year’s Sportive saw 250 riders raise £24,000 for the NSPCC and followed on from the JCB Engineering Team’s Coast-to-Coast Cycle Ride in 2021 which raised over £8,000.
- This year we have 3 different picturesque routes (50km, 70km & 100km) across Staffordshire and Derbyshire, which are priced at £35, £40 And £45 respectively.
- All proceeds will support the newly launched JCB/NSPCC 40Appeal, which aims to raise £2 million over the next two years.
Apprentice NSPCC Loadall
A team of 36 apprentices combined their engineering skills to build a unique machine which raised thousands of pounds for the NSPCC.
- The NSPCC apprentice loadall was auctioned in aid of the NSPCC and raised tens of thousands of pounds.
- The bespoke NSPCC paintjob on this unique machine was designed by apprentices and included all of their handprints in the NSPCC's signature shade of green, adding a personal touch to a project which meant a lot to both the apprentices and the NSPCC.
- Not only was this apprentice-built loadall a philanthropic gesture to the NSPCC, it was also a fully electric machine, not only displaying the brilliance of our apprentices, but the genius and forward-thinking that JCB champion when it comes to sustainable solutions.
JCB lakeside 5 & Fun Run 2023

Golf Days
Our world class JCB Golf & Country Club has hosted several successful charity days and tournaments
- JCB has raised over £80,000 for charity through golf days at our state of the art golf course
- Many of our golf days have been run in aid of both the NSPCC and the British Heart Foundation, in memory of our much beloved former JCB director, and keen golfer, Malcolm Fox
- Our beautiful 18-hole golf course will continue to host events, both charitable, and competitive, for years to come, maybe you'll be lucky enough to play here one day!
CHRISTMAS TOY APPEAL
We annually collate toys donated by JCB employees to bring some joy to children at Christmas time in aid of the NSPCC and The Hubb Foundation.
- Our annual Christmas Toy Appeal proves to be a success year on year, as the generosity and empathy of JCB employees shines through once again.
- Employees from all over the country do their bit to spread some Christmas cheer to those less fortunate.
- In 2022, over 1000 toys were donated to those less fortunate.
Random acts of kindness
JCB Employees consistently go the extra mile for the NSPCC, aside from fundraising, we do what we can to better the lives of others.
- For example, our apprentices spent a day painting, decorating and gardening to help brighten up the lives of children at a North Staffordshire NSPCC Centre.
- At JCB, we try to do all that we can to improve the lives of those less fortunate than us, if you have any ideas of any fundraising activities, or if you want to get stuck in yourself, don't hesitate to get in touch - and keep an eye out for any announcements we post so you don't miss anything!
