Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is about how we consider the interests of society by taking responsibility for the impact of our activities on our clients, our people, our community and the environment in all aspects of our operations.
Our CSR committee, made up of people from across our firm meet regularly to discuss, plan and monitor our CSR objectives.

3 Community & charitable causes
We are actively involved in our local community and it is through fundraising and volunteering that we think we make a difference.
We regularly sponsor local events and provide pro bono support to the local Citizens Advice Bureau. Our people serve on the boards of various organisations and are Governors of local schools and trustees of charities on a voluntary basis.
We are also actively involved with the National Citizens Service working closely with The Challenge Network, introducing young people to the world of work and helping them with their Dragon’s Den pitches.
Our people have chosen two charities to promote and support during 2017 and 2019. These are Tree of Hope and Ellenor.
We will be maintaining an active programme of events which will provide all of our people with the opportunity of getting involved in raising funds, volunteering and learning about the worthy causes.
