Three UK

This December, our incredible teams right across Three UK came together to support our charity partner, Samaritans, and raised an outstanding £16,852! 🎉 This contribution could fund 24 hours of helpline support, ensuring Samaritans are there for anyone struggling to cope. In fact, this total could cover the entire helpline on Christmas Day - a day that can be particularly difficult for many. Here’s how we made it happen: 🎄 Our Christmas Prize Draw raised an impressive £10,074, with top-tech and prizes donated by our valued suppliers and partners. ⭐ The Accessories Team hosted a fantastic sale at Green Park, raising another £6,778. A massive thank-you to everyone who participated, donated, and supported these efforts 💚 Your generosity will make a real impact this Christmas.

The festive season is upon us - a time for families to come together and enjoy special moments. It’s also a time when 42% of parents have admitted to be more lenient with their child’s online activity due to a variety of reasons. Some say they’re more lenient simply because it’s Christmas, some are kept so busy with other things at this time of year, and others say they just need to keep their kids occupied. Whatever the reason, you can still help children have a safer online experience this holiday season. Our partner Internet Matters has introduced My Family’s Digital Christmas, an #onlinesafety tool designed to help you protect your kids while they explore their digital world. Simply answer 8 questions to receive personalised online safety advice from the comprehensive toolkit. It’s filled with helpful resources to ensure your kids explore their favourite apps, platforms, and devices securely. Plus, you could win one of three fantastic prize bundles, including a prize from Three! Discover more about My Family’s Digital Christmas👉 https://lnkd.in/gtuzR52M

The past few weeks, our incredible people volunteered to wrap presents at The Cowshed for families who might otherwise go without this Christmas. The Cowshed is a remarkable local #rdguk charity providing essential support to individuals and families going through difficult times. One amazing volunteer, Callum Jones, said, "It truly makes you realise just how lucky you are and how meaningful these kinds of projects can be. The thought of making a child’s Christmas Day by spending a few hours supporting this team really did make me emotional but I’m so glad I got to help, it was a wholesome experience." #LifeAtThree

📱 Last year, we teamed up with Tech21 to launch an exclusive Samaritans phone case for the iPhone 14 & 15 range. For every case sold, £2 was donated to support Samaritans' mission of providing vital emotional support 24/7. 🎉 We’re thrilled to share that these cases have so far raised an incredible £3,848! 💚 This initiative reflects our broader commitment to promoting better mental and emotional health by encouraging people to reach out, connect, and start meaningful conversations.

To mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3rd December, our Accessibility Network hosted a hybrid event at our Green Park office, exploring what accessibility truly means - for individuals and for us as a company.    We welcomed guest speaker Hazel Leighfield from Business Disability Forum, who inspired us with her expertise and experience in helping businesses lead the way in disability inclusion. The event also featured powerful personal stories from members of our network, reminding us why accessibility is so important.    A huge thank you to everyone who joined us in person and virtually. #Accessibility #Inclusion #Diversity #ThreeUK #HybridEvent 

As Black Friday and Christmas approach, we are reminding consumers to stay vigilant against scams. With fraudsters becoming more sophisticated, it’s more important than ever to protect yourself and your loved ones. Last year, we saw scam reports triple during #BlackFriday and surge fivefold in December, with over 7.6 million scam messages blocked during the holiday season. Sadly, one-third of Brits have already fallen victim to scams, with younger people disproportionately affected. Find out more at 👉https://lnkd.in/eMt55TZG That’s why we are proud to support the #BBCScamSafe campaign, running from 23 November. Together, we aim to empower people with practical tips to avoid fraud, like spotting too-good-to-be-true deals and recognising red flags in messages. This year, Three has blocked over 32 million scam texts - equivalent to nearly 120,000 per day. Let’s stay one step ahead of fraudsters and make this season merry, not malicious. #stickittothescammers Stop Scams UK

As part of our ongoing commitment to #sustainability ♻️ we’re proud to announce we’ve achieved the ISO 45001:2018 Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Standard Certification one year ahead of target. ISO 45001 Standard is an internationally recognised standard that enables organisations to provide safe and healthy workspaces by preventing work-related injury and ill health, as well as proactively improving its OH&S performance. This is the second ISO Certification journey that Three UK has embarked on so far, after a successful ISO 14001 Environmental Standard Certification achieved in November last year, two years ahead of target. Congratulations to all those involved in achieving these standards. #healthandsafety #iso45001 #sustainableconnections
