In 2017, we had the challenge of raising £5,000 for our charity of the year, FOCUS: the charitable fund of the Gloucestershire NHS oncology centre, and we are pleased to say that we achieved this target, and more!
Our enthusiastic staff have cycled to Düsseldorf, run around Bristol in Santa Claus costumes and baked to their hearts content, raising an incredible £12,000 for a range of charities! We are delighted with this achievement and would like to say a huge THANK YOU to all who donated and supported us along the way.
The Bristol to Düsseldorf charity bike ride was a great team
effort, with 37 members of staff taking part and cycling 820 kilometres in 8 1/2
hours.
“It was fantastic to see so many people contributing so much time and
raising so much money. What was really incredible is that besides the generous
online donations, we received £300 from morning commuters just passing by – we
must have looked rather amusing,” says Ian Screen, HR & Facilities Manager.
We were also delighted to receive the Payroll Giving Platinum award which recognises our commitment in fostering a culture of philanthropy and committed giving in the workplace, with over 20% of our staff regularly donating to charity through Payroll Giving.
“Our CSR policy expresses our commitment to being a socially responsible employer and enterprise,” declares Tony Buss, Managing Director. “We’re proud that so many of our employees support the various charity actions.”
