Giving Back to Our Community: Why Charity Matters at E and W Plumbing and Heating LTD
We’re proud to serve our customers every day, but we also believe in giving back — to local charities, to important causes, and to the people who make our community what it is.
Over the years, we’ve regularly donated to local charity raffles, supported small businesses, and sponsored fundraising efforts across the surrounding area. One of our proudest contributions has been sponsoring a customer’s series of events to raise money for Oxfordshire Mind, helping support mental health services that so many people rely on.
Our Commitment to Cancer Research UK
In July 2022, we lost our company secretary — and Richard and Lottie’s mother — Helen Sewell, to oesophageal cancer. This was not Helen’s first battle with the disease. Years earlier, she had overcome cancer with the help of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Throughout both battles, Helen remained an integral part of the family business. Her dedication was remarkable; even in her final days, she told the team she would be booking vans in for MOTs and arranging gas safety inspections the following Monday.
Sadly, that Monday never came.
But the exceptional standard of work Helen contributed over the years continues to shape the business today. Her organisation, her care for customers, and her commitment to doing things properly are woven into the way we operate. Her legacy lives on — not only within the company, but in the experience of every customer who benefits from the systems she helped build.
Helen loved the business, and she genuinely enjoyed speaking with our clients. We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all our long‑standing customers who asked after her, offered kind words, and supported the family during such a difficult time.
To help others facing the same battle, we make annual donations to Cancer Research UK in Helen’s memory. If you feel moved to contribute as well, we warmly encourage you to do so.
