Fundraising
Supporting our local communities matters to us. We work with charities and organisations to make a real difference where we can.
Each year, we support a different charity chosen by our people. It’s a simple way to make sure the causes we back reflect what matters most to the team.
We support and strengthen local communities by getting involved in school mentoring schemes and community projects. By working alongside local organisations and contributing through donations, fundraising, and volunteering, we help where we can and stay connected to the communities around us.
Olivia Holmes and Sophie Duncan are joint Chairs of our Charity team.
Our Charity of the Year
From April 2026 to March 2027, we’re proud to support Yorkshire Cancer Research as our Charity of the Year. Chosen by our people, this partnership reflects a shared commitment to making a real difference in our communities.
In Yorkshire, someone is diagnosed with cancer every 17 minutes, and the region remains one of the hardest hit. Through its work, Yorkshire Cancer Research focuses on preventing cancer, diagnosing it earlier when treatment is often more effective, and improving care through research and services such as Active Together, which helps people prepare for and recover from treatment.
By supporting the charity, we’re helping to fund vital research, improve outcomes and support people affected by cancer across Yorkshire and beyond.
