Since 1966, the true impact of LHC's work can be seen in the strengthened communities and improved lives across our region. At the heart of our not-for-profit organisation is a simple mission: our success should directly benefit the communities we serve. We are proud to channel our surplus back into our region, reinforcing our commitment to improving lives and places through quality procurement solutions.

How our rebate scheme works

When our associate partners spend over a specified threshold, a rebate is generated. This fund is then awarded back to our associate partners to support their vital social value initiatives.

This year's impact

This year, LHC is delighted to have awarded a total of £208,942.76 in rebates to 33 public sector organisations across the Midlands, London, and the South East of England. This isn't just money; it's an investment in local projects, community groups, and social value objectives that make a massive difference in the communities we serve.

Our team has been out on the road, personally delivering these rebate cheques and seeing firsthand the exciting projects they will support.
