Herefordshire Voluntary Action (HVA)

HVA is a council for voluntary services working across Herefordshire to support the voluntary and community sector. The organisation supports individuals, groups and companies in the community with various services coming under the headings of: -

• Community development
• Volunteering/ The Volunteer Centre
• Direct services
• Developing a voice

allpay has worked with HVA since 2005 as the main sponsor of the hugely successful bi-annual Volunteers of the Year Awards. They have also designed and produced a number of promotional materials.

The Herefordshire Volunteers of the Year Awards was supported by allpay again this year where we recognised the hundreds of Hidden Heroes from across Herefordshire for their fabulous voluntary work!

Westfields FC

allpay supports the Hereford-based football club Westfields FC who play in the Midland Football Alliance.

As well as a 30-year sponsorship deal (set up in 2004) to name the Westfields Football Club ground, 'allpay.park', the 2006/2007 season saw allpay become the club's official sponsor.

This entails providing kit for the first team as well as new training kit including clothing apparel, training and match balls along with complete assistance with the printing of letterheads and home match day programmes.

The Courtyard

The Courtyard is now 10 years old and has evolved and developed into a well established and highly regarded, vibrant arts centre serving the whole of Herefordshire and the surrounding region.

allpay is a big supporter of the arts centre and the work they do; we are members of the Business Club and have sponsored the last three Courtyard Junior Youth Theatre productions The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe (2011), The Wizard of Oz (2009) and The History Boys (2010).  Through sponsoring the Youth Theatre’s various productions and the Platinum membership, allpay is able to play a vital role in supporting the arts in Herefordshire.

allpay and the Environment

allpay is committed to promoting good environmental practice and recycles what it can, from aluminium cans through to paper, boxes and even its plastic swipecards.

Our activities take our representatives across the length and breadth of the country and so we replaced a number of company cars with the more environmentally friendly Toyota Prius.

We continually look for ways to improve energy efficiency at our offices and with assistance from organisations such as The Carbon Trust, allpay has also created an on-site conservation and nature area complete with bird, bee and bat nesting boxes, a pond and an abundance of flora.

As our company is growing extensively we want to give something back to the community in which we operate. It is important to us that we get our name known locally to inform the public that this is a Hereford based business.
