Charity of the Year
We don’t just ‘do the right thing’ by our team and clients. Supporting charities and our local community is also at the top of our priority list.
Each year, we proudly select a local Charity of the Year, and for that charity we provide their HR support for the year*. We also help raise awareness of the charity and what they do.
Our Charity of the Year for 2025 is Accommodation Concern
We are delighted to be supporting the work of the amazing Accommodation Concern. To understand more about what they do, visit their website
Accommodation Concern prevents and alleviates poverty, need, hardship and distress, by delivering advice, support and preventative services designed to end homelessness, build independence and resilience and improve well-being and life chances. All services are free, at the point of delivery, and open to anyone from 18 years of age. Accommodation Concern is an independent, dedicated anti-poverty and homelessness prevention charity, based in Kettering.
Previous Charities of the Year have included:
Northampton Saints Foundation, Service Six, The Lewis Foundation, Teamwork Trust and The Lowdown
