How We Support

Through company events and individual fundraising efforts our staff are encouraged to raise money for these excellent causes. Below are just some examples of fundraising carried out by our fantastic staff.

 

 

Charity Quiz NightCharity Quiz Night

First held in March 2014, our yearly Charity Quiz Night has swiftly become the most popular event in our staff calendar. With money raised via team entry fees, a raffle on the night, purchase of additional holiday days and a holiday auction, the proceeds are split between our three chosen charities. As we were unable to run this event in 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, 2022's event was supported with renewed enthusiasm by our staff with a total of £4,241 being raised.
