We are proud of how passionate our employees are about their local communities. And we recognise that doing well as a company means doing good in the world. We don’t just want to do it for us. We want to make sure we have a positive impact in our communities too.
So, each and every year, we fundraise for employee-chosen local charities. We donate to vital foodbanks, we sponsor local sports teams, take part in community events and national events such as Race for Life and various marathons, such as the London Marathon. Our employees are also enabled to volunteer their help and support to these charities in special away days.
Who are we supporting for 2024?
UK – Alzheimer’s Society
Established in 1979, Alzheimer’s Society is dedicated to supporting those affected by dementia. They actively advocate for policy and legal changes to improve rights and enhance quality of life. Through investments in vital projects and research, the organisation assists individuals and families impacted by dementia. Their work spans from developing innovative treatments to exploring preventive drug options and studying vascular dementia.
Krakow – The Krakow Food Bank
Established in 1997, the Krakow Food Bank is a longstanding charitable institution focused on logistics. They secure free food from supermarkets and producers, distributing it to food-insecure sectors in their region. In response to Russia’s aggression in Ukraine, they’ve expanded operations to support Ukrainian citizens in Lesser Poland, supplying vital food, hygiene, and pet care products.
Macedonia – ljubeznost
ljubeznost provides continuous education, assistance, and support to homeless and socially endangered individuals. Their vision is a society without poverty where there is acceptance, inclusion, and equal opportunities for homeless and socially vulnerable people.
