Corporate Volunteering
Thanks to the kindness of local businesses and our corporate partners in 2025, forty-four hours of volunteering were donated to our charity! Thank you to employees from BCN, Reserve Forces and Cadets Association, Molson Coors, Linen Quarter BID and Barclays, alongside staff from local businesses Fin Tru and Proofpoint. From packing reindeer food sachets, clocking up the miles at our Grand Central Station static cycle, volunteering at our Tesco World Stroke Day collections and helping at our Christmas Quiz, we could not have achieved as much without these wonderful volunteers - thank you!
