Communities around the World

Good corporate citizenship is a cornerstone of our business and G4S plays an active role in supporting good causes and local community projects in many of the areas in which operate.  

Here are just a few of the projects in which G4S companies around the world are involved in...

G4S Cyprus and the Radiomarathon Festival of Fun

G4S Security Services (Cyprus) is a good example of how G4S and its employees give back to the community.  A long-term participant in the Radiomarathon, an annual Cypriot event that raises money for disabled and handicapped children, the company has been supporting this event since it was set up over 18 years ago and today helps organise the Radiomarathon's Festival of Fun which features shows and activities for children.


G4S supporting the Radiomaration in Cyprus

G4S Cypus is very proud of its involvement with the Radiomarathon and supports the event by funding a significant part of the costs, providing security expertise free of charge and distributing leaflets to publicise the event.


HIV and AIDS in South Africa

G4S South Africa supports a wide range of charities and community programmes across the country to provide support for families and individuals affected by HIV+ and AIDS.

G4S provides funding and support in many ways to worthy causes such as the Lambano Sanctuary, a home providing care for abandonded or HIV+ children and Sparrow Ministries, whose children's homes and hospices provide care for those infected or affected by this devestating disease.

The Parc Cadets Programme


G4S UK runs a variety of programmes aimed at breaking the cycle of re-offending amongst adults and young offenders.  In 2008, the Parc Cadets Programme was introduced with the aim of preparing prisoners to join the armed forces after release.  The programme is specifically for prisoners aged between 18 and 21 and on their first sentence of up to two and a half years.

During 2008, nine young offenders took part in the programme, six passed and two have provisional places with the armed forces.
