Our Charities

We still have a very long way to go when it comes to transforming our own organisations and society in the UK, but there are many others who have a lot further to travel. 

We therefore support charities in four key transformational areas, annually donating 10% of our profits or 1% of our turnover, whichever greater.  The areas we focus on are:

 

 

Peace, and conflict resolution - the fundamental requirements for stable and prosperous societies include peace and the rule of law.  Sadly many countries still struggle to reach this modest situation.  Organisations such as The Foundation for Peace work with schools, communities  and ethnic groups in the UK and around the world   to  bring  an   end   to  conflict,   start   the   painful 

journey of reconciliation & move towards long-term stability.

 

 

Sustainable development and education – many people around the world can benefit enormously from having access to simple technology that can help increase crop yields, preserve seasonal foods, enable education, generate income, improve equality and strengthen communities.  Practical Action introduces appropriate technology  and  best practices to developing  countries  so  that  they  can  find  better  ways   of

 working and become more self reliant.

 

 

Economic development – all but the most isolated communities around the world rely on entrepreneurs and businesses.  They provide services and create the wealth that can support the community and help them survive during difficult times.  Organisations such as Oxfam provide loans to farmers and small businesses  to  enable   them to

get started, develop their services and provide employment.     

 

 

 

And finally, disaster management, recognising that when catastrophes strike, whether natural or man-made, simple survival is the greatest need of so many.  The Disasters Emergency Committee was set up to mobilise help quickly to those most in most urgent need.
