B P Collins has donated an additional £15,000 to local causes as part of its ongoing commitment to corporate social responsibility. The donation marks the 11th year of the firm’s partnership with the Heart of Bucks’ stewardship fund, bringing its total contribution to £115,000 since 2015.
For this year’s initiative, all B P Collins staff were invited to choose from five shortlisted charities and organisations that align with the firm’s CSR values: building stronger communities, providing better futures, and creating safer lives. The chosen organisations for this year’s donations are:
- £4,000 to Connection Support which works alongside people in Buckinghamshire to overcome life’s challenges; to become safely and sustainably housed and live as independently as possible.
- £3,000 to New Meaning Training’s where its mission is to enable young people who are not mainstream education shaped to discover how to earn their own living in their pathway to adulthood.
- £2,500 to The Safety Centre, which specialises in teaching children, young people and adults how to stay safe, understand risks and avoid accidents using realistic learning experiences.
- £2,250 to Intergenerational Music Making which uses the power of music to bring children, older people and communities together to create and connect.
- £1,750 to In This Together, Bucks which is dedicated to creating a safer and more cohesive community through mediation, mentoring, and support through various programs, including gang mediation, mentoring sessions for victims of violent crime, and assistance for survivors of domestic violence.
“We’re incredibly proud to continue supporting these outstanding local causes through our partnership with Heart of Bucks,” said Lucy Wood, partner at B P Collins. “At B P Collins, we believe in making a tangible difference in the community, and we are thrilled to see the positive impact these donations will have on the lives of those who need it most.”
Henry Allmand, CEO of Heart of Bucks adds: “We are delighted to have the continuing support from B P Collins for another year. I am grateful for the partnership of the whole firm, and their consistent and generous support and advocacy of small charities in the Buckinghamshire community.“
