Our staff are big supporters of local and national charities. Each year our staff nominate three charities to support for a 12 month period. During 2013-14, we are supporting Macmillan, Magpas, the emergency medical charity and Nelson's Journey, a Norfolk based charity working with bereaved children and young people.
In addition, we have also been supporting Nelson's Journey for a number of years by providing office space in our Norwich office.
During 2012-13, we supported East Anglia's Children's Hospices (EACH), Norfolk based cancer charity, Big C and Headway, the brain injury charity, and raised over £13,000.
We aim to raise at least £10,000 through dress down days, cake stalls, Christmas card donations, a Charity bowling event and our annual Wills Week. Some members of our staff also take part in sponsored sporting events such as sky diving, running, cycling and adventure challenge events.
Staff are also encouraged to take part in volunteering schemes and projects run by our designated charities.
If you would like to have your organisation nominated for support, please send us your details via email to: csr@ashtonkcj.co.uk. Please note that your organisation must be a registered charity. Nominations take place once a year in January.
