The 'Giving Back' story

THE 'GIVING BACK' STORY

Did you know that Out-of-Home advertising funds loads of brilliant things for communities and local authorities up and down the country?

Our Out-of-Home advertising funds free Wi-Fi, green roofs and green walls, air quality sensors, charging points, communication channels, apprenticeship schemes, free phone-calls, art galleries on the street, tree-planting, footfall counters, help for local entrepreneurs and more.

 

This is our 'Giving Back' story, that began in 1964 when our founder invented the concept of providing  bus shelters paid for by advertising.

Paying back

Did you know that nearly 50p in every pound spent on Out-of-Home goes back into the community? Out-of-Home pays back and funds public services for good.
