Wealth manager, RBC Brewin Dolphin recently marked the 10-year anniversary of its community grants programme, which has seen it donate over £310,000 to good causes across the UK.
The programme encourages the company’s employees to nominate charities to receive a grant, and these can be charities they are personally involved with, or which work to benefit the community in which they live. It forms part of the company’s wider corporate giving strategy, which also encompasses fundraising, volunteering and employee payroll giving.
Since 2013, the RBC Brewin Dolphin community grants programme has awarded over 650 grants to local charities, from food banks to arts and sports initiatives, hospices and animal shelters.
Some of the charities to recently receive a grant of £1,000 include the Lily Mae Foundation in Coventry, which provides bereavement support for parents, the Dereham Theatre Company in Norfolk, which provides arts education, and the Charlie and Carter Foundation, a Newcastle-based charity that gives financial support to parents of children with life limiting illnesses.
Rosie Richardson-Aitken, senior corporate responsibility manager, RBC Brewin Dolphin, said: “RBC Brewin Dolphin’s community grants programme endorses our aim of being at the heart of the communities in which we live and work, and forms part of the larger fabric of our corporate charitable giving. Since 2013, we have donated £300,000 to local charities, helping to inspire futures and positively impact those around us.”
