Charities and Volunteering
We believe in making a positive and lasting difference to people and the communities in which we live and work. We partner with charities and support community projects that are aligned to our goals and share our desire to make an impact on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
In 2024/25, we donated over £278,000 to 65 charities and our colleagues participated in 2,060 hours of volunteering across 30 different charities.

Fundraising Highlights
- Donated £10,000 to Macmillan Cancer Support, enough to fund 486 phone calls from Cancer Information Nurse Specialists, who provide a listening ear for those in need during life's toughest moments.
- Raised over £4,000 for My Name’5 Doddie, an organisation focused on improving the lives of those affected by MND, through a sponsored bike ride from London to Paris and a ‘Pink and Punk’ fancy dress day.
- Built on our long-standing partnership with The Wildlife Trusts, which has seen us donate £125,000 towards projects which support nature, wellbeing and community engagement.
- Local Christmas fundraising events raising more than £8,700 across four different charities, including £4,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital, £1,000 for Sarah’s Pink Events, £2,000 for Sands and £1,700 for Cancer Research UK.
- As part of our end-of-year charity donations, over 600 colleagues came forward to vote for their preferred charities, resulting in £21,000 being donated to six national charities: Refuge, Macmillan Cancer Support, Cystic Fibrosis Trust, The Eve Appeal, Wiltshire Air Ambulance, My Name’5 Doddie and Alzheimer’s Society.
Key Charity Partners
Volunteering
We encourage all colleagues to take one paid volunteering day a year, to support a cause close to their hearts and can gift their own volunteering day to other colleagues, to allow for greater focus and involvement on specific projects.
