THE HALLIDAY FOUNDATION
“Launching the Scottish Building Foundation comes at a very important milestone for us as we mark our 175th anniversary.
Importantly, it will enable us to build longer term relationships with the various community groups we support and mirrors our values as an organisation that gives back to the communities we serve.
The Foundation officially launched in May 2023 and we seek to establish a best-in-class benchmark for giving back to communities.”
