Supporting Local Communities
We are committed to being a responsible member of the communities in which we operate, leaving a positive and lasting legacy. We want to make a difference in the communities we work in and that’s why we champion volunteering and charitable initiatives that are close to our hearts.
Big Blue Ocean Cleanup
We partnered with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup in 2023, supporting the organisations initiatives dedicated to cleaning beaches and removing plastic from the ocean. This includes volunteer days to provide our time, skills and resources into projects close to home, such as the River Thames which studies have unveiled houses some of the highest levels of microplastics of any river in the world.
London Wetland Centre
London Wetland Centre brings the countryside to London and although close to the heart of the City, it is a haven of tranquillity for both wildlife and people. In July 2024, staff members from each department volunteered for a day at the centre. They helped by doing Reed, Sedge and Typha clearance in one of the lakes. We also got to spend some time with the otters.
Wimbledon Guild
Wimbledon Guild offers support to Merton residents to help with wellbeing and mental health. A lot of the outreach is directed towards the elderly and vulnerable. They provide services like grief and independence support, financial advice and social activities for over 50s.
We are an official Corporate Sponsor of Wimbledon Guild’s community garden. Our contribution covers all expenses and running costs for the garden for the year. We also contributed half the remaining cost to purchase and install a garden room with capacity for 6-8 people as the final part of their three-phase development plan.
Tooting Community Kitchen
Tooting Community Kitchen runs a food bank and bi-weekly food stall in Tooting to help support the areas unhoused and vulnerable residents of South-West London. Their aim is to build up a strong community network to provide services to those in need.
Along with an annual financial donation, we collect food donations throughout the year, funded by the company and staff members, dropped off every quarter.
Deen City Farm
Established in 1978, Deen City Farm is one of the oldest urban farms in London. It has been a consistent source of education for the community, specifically local children. Operating as a working farm, they offer a range of activities including riding lessons and food education.
For 2024, we have chosen to sponsor the Farm Cars, Pygny Hedgehogs, Ferrits and Donkeys. Our sponsorship will go directly towards helping pay for their feed, bedding, any veterinary treatments as well as supporting the farm.
Sticky Wicket
We believe collaboration is the key to success. Every year we team up with other Exhibition and Event industry professionals to sponsor Sticky Wicket in support of Lord Taverners Charity, contributing to the set-up and installation of the bar area.
Operating across the UK and beyond, Lord Taverners is dedicated to delivering comprehensive and meaningful cricket initiatives. Their focus is on empowering young individuals with disabilities and from underserved communities. Through these programs, Lord Taverners enable them to foster knowledge, cultivate skills, build capabilities, and boost their self-assurance.
One Day at Christmas
Bringing the spirit of Christmas to life, ‘One Day at Christmas’ throws a heat-warming party for the elderly and vulnerable residents of London, Birmingham and Glasgow.
This day offers the events industry a unique opportunity to give back to our local communities. With a touch of holiday magic, they recreate the joy of Christmas through a special December gathering, making sure that those who might miss out on a traditional Christmas Day get to experience the festive cheer.
