Working for Your Community
It is becoming increasingly evident that being involved in the ‘local community’ is very important. As a caring Funeral Group, our priority is obviously to the bereaved. Our aim is to become more involved in working alongside all areas of our community.
Local charities are very high on our agenda and we encourage each of our branches to be actively involved in those causes which affect their immediate community.
Our local Hospices and Churches, Essex Air Ambulance and Suffolk Family Carers are just a few of the many causes who have benefited from our fundraising efforts.
Through our sad involvement with troops in Colchester, we were proud to support their 'Afghan Project’ which raises funds for families left behind.
This past year, we have uniquely sponsored Colchester Athletic Under 9’s Football Team. We also work very closely with The Gilberd School in Colchester as part of their Social Studies curriculum. Children play an integral part in our community and bring a different dimension to any subject and our aim is to show them that we are approachable, friendly and caring – even if we do a “scary” job!
We are always keen to provide support to worthy causes. If you would like us to consider supporting your organisation, please contact Julie Johnson, PR & Community Liaison on juliejohnson@hunnaball.co.uk
The way Colchester says goodbye
It has been our sad duty but a proud privilege to have been involved in the military funerals in our garrison town of Colchester. On each occasion, crowds have lined the streets to pay their final respects.

Unwanted Spectacles Appeal,
in conjunction with Rotary International...
We support our local Rotary Clubs in the collection of unwanted spectacles.
The spectacles are graded and then sent to third world countries for distribution to the poorly sighted, who otherwise would have neither the opportunity nor the resources to obtain spectacles.
Please, if you have any spectacles, whatever the condition, we will be very grateful to receive them in the knowledge that someone, somewhere, will have an improved quality of life.
