Charitable giving

Individual charitable donations are the lifeblood of many of the UK's c175,000 charities. The firm operates a payroll giving scheme for all UK employees, which allows employees to give to charity in a tax efficient way. In addition, the firm gives £250 sponsorship to employees undertaking charitable fundraising endeavours like marathons or skydives in aid of charity.

Our Social and Sports Committee selects a charity of the year and organises a number of enjoyable fundraising events to help reach our target. In 2007, the firm raised £100,000 for Breast Cancer Care.

The firm itself also operates a central fund for making donations to charity that contact the firm and are within our remit. We also provide in-kind support, such as the use of meeting rooms and other facilities, to many of the charities involved in our community investment programme.
