Charity Fundraising
Giving back
We don’t just give back through our tailored service for charities, we’re also quite a charitable bunch ourselves. As well as supporting the Penny Brohn Care Cancer Unit, our staff regularly arrange and take part in fundraiser days and activities to help raise money for various charities; one of our more recent feats was raising £4,000 for children’s charity, Bibic, by completing the gruelling Dartmoor Ten Tors Challenge!
Charitable support and volunteering
Our team is encouraged to take days out of the office for volunteering, both with their own charities, and with charities that the business is working with at the time. Examples include:
- meal provision, maintenance, and user engagement at The Butterfly Garden in Cheltenham
- essential maintenance and winter gardening at the James Hopkins Trust Kite’s Corner garden
- providing essential communications infrastructure including WiFi to Caring for Communities and People’s (CCP) winter foodbank “Hamper Scamper” appeal, supporting volunteers that handle more than 2,000 food box deliveries and more than 40,000 individual food items
- collecting Christmas Trees as part of a recycling fundraiser for local hospice Longfield
- sponsorship, fundraising, and awareness days for charities, including Hope for Tomorrow, Cancer Research, the Rotary Club, ECCT, Holly Gazzard Trust, and Dwarfism Awareness Day during 2021. Each is selected by a different member of our team, based on their personal connections and interests, something that we feel is incredibly important.
