OUR ETHICAL, ENVIRONMENTAL &
CHARITABLE COMMITMENT

Since 2010 we are using 100% Green electricity, generated by either solar, wind or wave. Right from the beginning we have always used 100% recycled corrugated cardboard to wrap all our frames. Also, where possible, we try to re use all packaging that comes to us, and what we cannot use is still recycled.

Our off cuts of mount board and Hardboard are given to local schools and art charities (and Lester's or Jane's kids!). Our wood off cuts all serve as “kindling” for those with wood burners. All our glass off cuts are recycled. Increasingly our board and timber are being sourced from sustainable managed forests.

At a local level, we support the following annually

  • Cambridgeshire Blue Smile Project
  • Foxton School Art Show
  • Meldreth Primary School Fete
  • Eversden Gardeners Club
  • Foxton Gardens Association
  • Fowlmere School Art Exhibition
  • Cambridge Royal watercolour Society

As an ethical business, Simon Robinson & Son actively supports the following charities

  • Oxfam
  • World Wildlife Fund
  • Amnesty International
  • Unicef
  • World Society for the Protection of Animals
  • Free Tibet
  • Dogs Trust
  • People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
  • The Cambridge Buddhist Centre
  • SOS Children's Villages

Moise

Through SOS Children's Villages we sponsor a young boy called Moise who was found abandoned in the Central African Republic . A small amount from every purchase you make from Simon Robinson & Son goes towards Moise's sponsorship. He now enjoys life with his adopted SOS mother, brothers and sisters.
