our chosen charities
In 2007 our staff raised a grand total of £76,231 for selected charities
We feel we can be more effective by focusing our support on selected charitable causes. That’s why we’ve formed long-term links with several local and national charities.
Ecclesiastical is a corporate partner of The Children’s Society. We support them through fundraising, sponsorship, donations and activities organised by our staff. In 2008 we are sponsoring their Walk and Explore series of fundraising walks.
We support Headway Cotswold Trust, Gloucester Youth Housing Association, Milestone School, and The Family Haven. Our staff nominated these charities and are actively involved in supporting them. So that they can give their time, Ecclesiastical gives every member of staff one community day per year to dedicate to one of our chosen charitable causes.
