At The Window Company, we believe that quality home improvements should go hand-in-hand with community support and environmental responsibility. That’s why we created our recycle and reward initiative. Simply put, when we remove your old uPVC windows, we don’t just dispose of them — we recycle the materials and reinvest the proceeds back into local causes. It’s our way of making sure every project we complete gives something back to the Greater Manchester community.

By recycling uPVC frames and putting the money towards local grassroots organisations, community centres, and youth programmes, we’re building a stronger, more sustainable future for everyone. Areas like Altrincham, Urmston, Wythenshawe, and Sale have already seen the benefits — and we’re just getting started.

 

Sponsorship of grassroots clubs

One of the most rewarding parts of the initiative has been getting involved in grassroots sports sponsorship. Among the many community projects we support, we’re especially proud of our partnership with two fantastic local football clubs: Ashton On Mersey Girls Under 13s and Wythenshawe Celtic Under 14s. These local youth clubs represent everything we believe in — teamwork, positive values, and strong community roots.

Through consistent support, these clubs are better equipped with kits, training resources, and the ability to create safe spaces for young players to grow. Grassroots sports don’t just build great athletes; they help shape confident, resilient individuals ready to make a difference.

 

 

Celebrating recent successes

This past weekend marked an exciting milestone: both of our sponsored teams brought home silverware! Ashton On Mersey Girls U13s sealed a stunning double — clinching the league title just weeks ago and now celebrating a cup victory. Not to be outdone, Wythenshawe Celtic U14s triumphed in their league cup final, making it a winning weekend for both sides.

These achievements embody the power of support at a local level. According to Sport England, children who regularly participate in sports are happier, more trusting and feel a better sense of belonging — with participation linked to higher physical and mental wellbeing. Supporting their growth is more than a gesture; it’s an investment in the future of our communities.

 

The impact on the community

So, how does replacing your windows help fund a football team? It starts with the recycle and reward initiative. Every time we remove uPVC window frames from a home, we bring them back to our HQ to be separated and sorted. The recyclable uPVC is then collected, and we receive payment based on volume. This currently brings in around £600 each month — and we top that up to make sure no less than £10,000 a year goes back into the community.

That funding goes directly toward real improvements. Whether it’s kitting out local teams, upgrading community facilities, or helping schools with renovation needs, the money helps nurture strong, connected neighbourhoods. It’s a small act — but over time, it adds up to a big difference.
