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:
Four Paws
In January we raised £50 for Four Paws, a charity who campaign for a world in which humans treat animals with respect, empathy and understanding.
Just Giving
February's donation went to sponsoring Melinda O'Brien who is running the Dougie Mac 10k in April, and then the Race for Life in June for Cancer Research UK.
Just Giving
For March, we sponsored Sophie Brown who is undertaking the Great North Swim in the Lake District to raise funds for the Respiratory Department at North Staffs.

Our April fundraising saw us sponsoring Sam Foster who is participating in the Market Drayton 10k race on May 11th to raise money for Endometriosis UK.
Children With Cancer
In May, we helped to fund life-saving childhood cancer research and support for children and their families through treatment and beyond.
Greyhound Gap
June saw us donating funds to help rescue, rehabilitate and re-home dogs who find themselves at risk of euthanasia in the UK stray pounds.
