Members of staff and their families taking part in the Marsden March in support of The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity
Our Charity Committee is comprised of partners and staff from across the firm. The Charity Committee encourages submissions where a member of staff is actively involved in the charity, including ad hoc fundraising events in which the member of staff is participating. This means that in addition to our long-term charity relationships, we can reach a variety of charitable causes championed by our staff as well as supporting charitable causes associated with the local communities where we work. We have recently entered into several partnerships as part of our Diversity & Inclusion initiative, where members of the firm donate their time to enhance the diversity of the talent pool available to the asset management industry. These charities will be included for future consideration by the Charity Committee for funding support.
Members of St Andrew’s Club attend a First Aid Course supported by the Charity Committee and led by the Onsite First Aid Training Company in November 2022
Over the past two years we have made donations or grants to various charities including:
Amber Trust
The Amber Trust provides musical opportunities for blind and partially sighted children, and children with more complex needs, via its Music Awards and Music Services.
St Andrew’s Club
The Club is a community-based youth club, established over 150 years ago, which enriches young lives by providing a sense of belonging, fun and informal education to around 700 members each year, from the ages of 5 to adulthood, where they develop self-confidence, respect for others and build their abilities to contribute to society as good citizens.
National Crimebeat
National Crimebeat is the youth crime prevention charity of the High Sheriffs’ Association and is governed by trustees who are mainly former High Sheriffs. It has no paid employees, and the raising of sponsorship and organising of the annual award ceremony is undertaken by the trustees who do not receive any form of remuneration. National Crimebeat now focuses on providing a prestigious annual awards ceremony to give recognition to the most innovative and successful crime prevention projects carried out by young people aged between 5 and 25 years.
Mindroom
Mindroom is a charity that champions all forms of neurodiversity and supports all kinds of minds. Their mission is to be a leading centre for change, in how we live, work, and learn. They achieve this through support, education, advocacy, and research.
Resurgo
Resurgo believe that each young person has huge potential, no matter what barriers to employment they face. Their Spear Programme helps trainees realise this potential, by coaching them with the mindset and skills they need to both get into work, and thrive once they’re there.
