At Ruth Lee Ltd, we consider ourselves to be very fortunate. From humble beginnings, we have nurtured and developed our business to be successful and profitable. We are a family business at our core and always aim to treat customers, staff and suppliers with dignity and respect.
As our business grows, we are keen to ‘give back’ to the communities we serve and this is why, in 2017, we launched our social commitment projects.
Saving Lives in Corwen is our local initiative which has provided support for lots of different groups within our community in North Wales, from providing laptops for school children to defibrillators and training for local care homes.
Volunteer Heroes is our national and international project, which has provided manikins, training equipment and money to volunteer rescue organisations both big and small, all across the world!
At the beginning of 2022, with the support of last year’s applicants, we made the decision to donate the entire fund to 3 charities offering support for those most in need in Ukraine.
UK Volunteer Heroes
This year, we’re opening our Volunteer Heroes fund once again for volunteer rescue teams in the United Kingdom!
Whether your team is in need of new PPE, rescue equipment, or is looking for funding support for a new project, we want to hear from you!
Applications for the fund will be open until the 19th of December 2022. A maximum of £5,000 will be awarded to British Volunteer teams but this may be in one large donation, or several smaller donations to teams who need assistance.
It’s easy to apply! Simply fill out the form here, telling us more about your team, what you would like to purchase and ultimately, why your team deserves the funding.

International Projects
For international projects, this year we have approached the International Lifesaving Federation (ILS) to find a worthwhile project in the international water rescue community.
