Charity of the Year Scheme
Charity of the Year Scheme
We began our Charity of the Year scheme in 2002. We were keen to support charities working in the communities around our offices and we realised that nominating a charity as our Charity of the Year could help raise their profile as well as providing financial support.
Over 20 years later, our Charity of the Year scheme is an established programme for the firm. We are proud to have been associated with so many excellent local charities and to have been able to play a small part in promoting their causes, in building relationships and in giving back to our local communities in this way.
Each charity is formally welcomed at our annual summer dinner event, and is promoted throughout the year in each of our five offices. In the past staff have joined with the charities in fundraising and in supporting their work including redecorating flats in Lenton, holding car boot sales, taking part in a firewalk and running the Robin Hood Marathon.
Charity of the Year 2026-27:
Our Charity of the Year is New Leaf Derbyshire
New Leaf Derbyshire’s mission is to support disadvantaged and struggling households by helping them create a healthy and ‘homely’ living environment. Through a team of trained volunteers, they work to turn houses into homes by offering support, guidance and practical help with the aim of improving people’s overall wellbeing.
They spend their time doing hands-on tasks such as DIY, decluttering homes, providing furniture, offering befriending visits, and helping people access services such as healthcare, social activities, or financial support.
You can learn more about the brilliant work the charity is doing on their Website or LinkedIn and Facebook pages.
