Meet & Engage

Good Works

Our Chosen Corporate Charities

We’re really happy to share our three chosen corporate charities for 2023. Each is a worthy cause and we’ve been reading about the amazing work they do. For every new or renewed client contract, we’ll give a percentage of that income to one of the three charities – even though as a team we chose the charities, it will be our clients who get to choose who they donate to. This felt like a great way of giving something back but also democratising the choice.

The Trussell Trust

The Trussell Trust operate a network of over 1200 food banks around the UK, helping ensure nobody goes hungry.

Shelter

Shelter exist to defend the right to a safe home. They campaign for access to safe housing across the country. 

The Wildlife Trusts

Working to bring wildlife back, empower people to take meaningful action for nature, create an inclusive society where nature matters. 

Our Team Fundraising Activity

Action Homeless

For Christmas 2022, the Meet & Engage Team practised a “reverse advent calendar”, choosing to donate to the Leicester-based homelessness charity, Action Homeless. 

Amount Raised: £1,425

Lastovičky Košice

In the first half of 2022, we covered the 1865.23 km between our office in Leicester and Košice in Sovakia as a team, by any means necessary (walking, running, cycling, dancing, ice-skating, and more!) – in aid of Lastovičky Košice, a window cleaning company who train and provide work for people experiencing homelessness in the city of Košice in Slovakia. 

Amount Raised: £725

Maji Safi Projects

In the second half of 2021, the Meet & Engage team took on the 2.6 challenge in aid of Maji Safi, with each person completing a personal challenge inspired by the 26 miles of the London Marathon (which was cancelled in 2020 and 2021).  For example, Paul Nash cycled 260 miles whilst CEO Ali Hackett completed 26 acts of random kindness. 
Amount Raised: £1,009

Guide Dogs for the Blind

🐶

For our first quarter of 2021 we set ourselves the challenge of collectively walking the distance from Land’s End to John O’Groats (roughly 1,000km) – with a dog in tow! As a team we managed a total of 1,218km walked and smashed our target of £1000 raised.

 

Amount Raised: £1018
