We believe in the importance of engaging in a purposeful way with the communities in which we operate. This is particularly important at a local level, where our people and our franchisees have the knowledge and relationships to help us make a positive difference.
We support a wide range of charitable causes whether through charitable giving, employee volunteering, or long-term collaborations with local organisations, establishments and charities. As well as support for fundraising initiatives during the year, all the franchisee annual conferences raise money for charities close to the hearts of us and our franchisees.
We partner with a large range of charities in the UK, for example, Northcare, Prostrate Care UK, Wear it Pink, Sands (Stillbirth and Neonatal Deaths Society) and Elsie’s Rose (charity supporting children with epilepsy).
We hold numerous events and days in the office such as Macmillan charity coffee mornings, Christmas jumper days or bring a dog to work days which raise money for charities. We raise funds for a range of charities through our franchise conferences.
We offer paid charity volunteer days, with team members having one paid day for a charity of their choices.
Across the Group, we are huge supporters of grassroots sports and teams, and believe sport is an excellent way to unite people and foster a strong sense of community.
