Here at Connect, we believe in being charitable and helping those less fortunate than ourselves. Every week we collect donations on a Friday as part of a Dress Down initiative to raise funds for worthy causes.
Charity is a cornerstone of our ESG strategy.
Our fundraising efforts this year have included:
Iris's Cats In Need
In January we raised £50 for Iris's Cats In Need, a local charity who rehouse stray cats.
VICTA
Half of February's donation went to sponsoring Matt Maynard running the London Marathon for VICTA.
RNIB
The other half of February's donation went to sponsoring Ryan Malbon running the London Marathon for RNIB.
Go Fund Me
For March we donated to a fundraiser which helped to cover the funeral costs of Jamie Parker who tragically died in a local fire.
50 Miles
for £500
Our April fundraising was donated to our very own TJ Harlott who is running an impressive 50-miles during 2024, admirably raising money for multiple charities.
Animal Lifeline
In May we supported Animal Lifeline, a local charity in Stoke-on-Trent which rescues and rehomes dogs.
Mind
For June we donated to Mind, a charity fighting for the mental health of people in England and Wales.
