Charity of the Year
Each year the Foundation will choose one major charity to support. Our charity of the year selection is inspired by causes close to the hearts of our people.
For 2022/23, our charity of the year was Maggie’s cancer charity, which helps people take back control when cancer turns their lives upside down. The total donated to Maggie’s Cancer Centres by the Trust was an amazing £35,940.
Our charity of the year for 2023/24 is the Heel and Toe Foundation who provide support for young people with Cerebral Palsy, inspired by the experience of one of our employees.
Our Amazing People
We aim to inspire and enable our employees to make a difference. This is why, each year through the Foundation Trust, we pledge to match the money of our employees raised from fundraising activities up to £3,000 per employee.
Since launching the Foundation, our amazing people have undertaken a huge range of events in support of various initiatives and charities such as Iron Man challenges, skydives, coffee mornings, full and half marathons and raffles. We are incredibly proud all of our their achievements and are proud to support their donations!
