South Liverpool Foodbank is a vital community resource, providing emergency food, toiletries, and practical support to people in their hardest moments. Their work goes far beyond meeting immediate need, helping local people through crisis with compassion, dignity, and care.

With our donations, South Liverpool Foodbank were able to provide 6,816 local people with emergency support during 2025, including 2,204 children. Alongside this, everyone who turned to them had access to a dedicated Citizens Advice Adviser. They helped over 200 people gain, on average, an extra £1,750 in their pockets, making it less likely they would need to use the food bank again.

They were able to help a couple facing a very difficult time. After one partner suffered a fall that led to a life-changing injury, he was unable to work. The other partner also had to leave her job to take on caring responsibilities, which placed significant pressure on their finances. While they awaited social security payments, South Liverpool Foodbank was able to provide emergency food and toiletries to help them through this incredibly challenging period.

As Nicky Simon at the food bank shared:
"We're very grateful to everyone at RS Clare & Co for your kindness and... with your help, we can continue to support people in their hardest moments."

Last week, some of our team members spent a few hours away from our head office to volunteer at South Liverpool Foodbank. Our colleagues sorted through dry goods, ensuring everything was organised and ready to be distributed to local families in need of immediate support.

We are honoured to support such an essential community resource, and we appreciate the kind words from Nicky Simon at the food bank: "We're very grateful to everyone at RS Clare & Co for your kindness and... with your help, we can continue to support people in their hardest moments."

Supporting our local community remains a core priority for our entire team here at RS Clare. We encourage other local businesses to get involved with South Liverpool Foodbank.

Making dreams come true with the Dream Factory

At RS Clare, we’re proud to support causes that truly make a difference. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with The Dream Factory, a charity dedicated to granting dreams for children and young adults with life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.

Our recent donation will help bring joy and hope to one or more of these incredible children by making their dream a reality.

Founded in memory of Oliver Mills - by his mother, Avril Mills BEM - The Dream Factory has granted over 770 dreams since 2008, creating unforgettable moments for families during challenging times. We’re honoured to play a small part in keeping Oliver’s legacy alive.

We are delighted to announce that after a lifetime of dedicated service, our Chairman, Ian Meadows OBE, has been appointed Honorary President of RS Clare.

Ian's leadership over the last five decades has been instrumental in shaping RS Clare into the world-leading lubricant supplier it is today. His journey with us began in 1972, and his influence has been profound.

Some of his most remarkable achievements include:
· Serving as Managing Director for an incredible 37 years before becoming Chairman of the Board, a position he has held since 1996.
· Spearheading major investments in facilities and technology, expanding our reach into new global markets.
· Receiving an OBE in 1993 for his significant contributions to the regeneration of Merseyside and his tireless work for the city of Liverpool.
Ian represents the fifth generation of the Meadows family to be part of RS Clare, a legacy of quality, integrity, and long-term thinking that continues to inspire us all.

At RS Clare & Co Ltd, supporting the next generation of skilled professionals has always been at the heart of our mission. Throughout our history, we've welcomed apprentices across a wide range of departments, from Engineering to IT, giving young people the opportunity to develop their careers whilst gaining hands-on experience in a real working environment.

This year, we're delighted to have recruited Tom Wall to the team. Tom is undertaking an electrical apprenticeship and is already making valuable contributions within our Engineering department. Working alongside experienced colleagues, he's gaining practical skills and knowledge that will set the foundation for a successful career in the industry.

Tom shares his experience:
"I chose my apprenticeship at RS Clare because of the amazing teamwork and support. Every day presents a range of opportunities to learn new skills, and what surprises me most is that each day is completely different. There are always new jobs and problem-solving challenges to tackle. My advice to anyone thinking about starting an apprenticeship? There's no right or wrong path to go down – whatever you choose, you'll still gain valuable experience and skills."

Apprenticeships offer a unique blend of learning and doing, allowing apprentices like Tom to earn while they learn, apply classroom theory to real-world challenges, and become valued members of our workforce from day one.

As we celebrate Apprenticeship Week, we're proud of our ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and investing in the future of our industry. Here's to Tom and all the apprentices who have been part of the RS Clare journey.
