Our work with our Communities

Large or small, for an individual or a group, all our donations – and we have given nearly £2m since we started fundraising – go to people and causes where they can really have an impact in the communities we serve.

We are a firm that likes to get involved. Whether that’s by growing moustaches in Movember, baking cakes, climbing, hiking, quizzing or even checking down the back of the sofa for spare currency to fund food banks, the whole firm gets behind the good causes we support.

We focus our giving on four key areas (education, healthcare, community and the environment) and prioritise charities local to each of our ten offices.

Education

Support for educational opportunities, particularly for disadvantaged individuals.

Healthcare

Charities which provide benefit to health and relief of sickness or suffering, particularly for or with children and adults suffering from incurable illnesses.

Community

Support for community facilities (e.g. community spaces and activities) with the aim of improving the lives of local people with particular needs due to age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantages.

Environment

Support for bodies or individuals who help to improve the environment in which we as a firm operate.
