We play a key role in supporting a range of causes for the benefit of our communities. As a patron of the Prince’s Trust, we are part of a key group effecting positive change. This extends to our practices every day. We involve ourselves in a range of charitable endeavours and we encourage our employees to do the same.
In association with the Prince’s Trust, we donate £25,000 per year to causes supporting young people aged 16-30. Our partnership supports the provision of a range of services to make a real difference to people’s lives. These initiatives provide the opportunity to gain skills, qualifications and employment for disadvantaged young people.
Advanced also supports employee-led charity work. Through our employee fundraising scheme MatchIt!, we match up to £50 from any fundraising event, dedicating £10,000 a year to the scheme. This allows us to increase the impact of the good work carried out by members of our team.
This is supplemented by our work with Pennies from Heaven, am organisation who help us to organise employee donations. Our employees have the option to donate the pennies from their salary total to the Prince’s Trust. The scheme solicits donations of no more than 99p per employee per month, but has already raised over £2000. This is donated directly to the Prince’s Trust above and beyond our usual donations.
