Our Edinburgh team is supporting LifeCare as its nominated charity. The organisation has over 80 years' experience supporting local older people living with dementia, poor health, isolation and loneliness. Each year, LifeCare helps over 1,000 older people and their carers to access the tools and support they need to remain living independently, feel supported in the home, eat well, live well, feel less isolated, have improved connections with others, and maintain mental and physical wellbeing.

Previously, our Edinburgh site was partnered with Harmeny Education Trust from 2019-2022, with employees raising over £62,000 during this time. From 2017-2019, we supported MND Scotland, with Edinburgh staff raising more than £14,000 during the partnership through a wide range of fundraising activities including bake sales, sponsored walks, a charity calendar, an annual Holyrood Fun Run, zip lining over the Clyde and pub quizzes.

Staff also support Cash for Kids’ Mission Christmas by paying to wear their brightest and most outrageous Christmas jumpers to help raise funds for appeal.

In Luton, our employees are fundraising for Cancer Research UK, the world's largest independent cancer research organisation.

During 2018-2019, staff in Luton raised over £20,000 for several charities including Macmillan Cancer Support, Keech Hospice Care and Combat Stress through a variety of activities including a golf day, cake sales, quiz nights and football tournament.

Employees also contribute to charity through a payroll lottery where people opt in to donate some of their monthly wage in return for entry into a lottery each month. Half of the money donated goes to charity.

In Southampton, staff have organised go-karting, cycling, running, football, bowling and golf competitions, as well as quizzes to raise money for Carers in Southampton, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight Air Ambulance, and Macmillan Cancer Support.

In Yeovil, the team, led by our energetic apprentices and graduates, is raising funds for PROMISEworks to deliver inspirational mentoring for the most vulnerable, disaffected and disadvantaged young people in Somerset.

In recent years, Yeovil has previously raised tens of thousands of pounds for Yeovil Hospital Charity's Breast Cancer Unit Appeal, Mind in Somerset, Yeovil Opportunity Group and School in a Bag, which delivers rucksacks filled with stationery, learning resources and eating utensils to poor, orphan and disaster-affected children worldwide. Some of our trainees even visited a project in Bhotenamlang, Nepal, where money they had helped raise was towards funding the building of a school.
