As part of our annual commitment to giving back, this month we’re donating £70,000 to a group of incredible charities.
Supporting the charity sector has been at the heart of everything we do since we founded CharityJob more than 25 years ago. Giving back is one of the ways we honour that mission and this year’s initiative has been one of our most inspiring yet.
In September, we invited members of our sister community, CharityConnect, to apply for a share of our £70,000 donation. The call was open to UK-based charities with 50 or fewer employees and an income under £1 million. The response was amazing with more than 1,000 applications from passionate, dedicated teams working tirelessly to make a difference.
Our staff panel had the incredibly tough task of reviewing every submission and narrowing them down. After many thoughtful discussions (and some difficult choices!), we’re delighted to be awarding grants of between £10,000 and £25,000 to the five exceptional charities listed below.
We’re truly honoured to support such deserving causes. And we couldn’t do it without you – our clients and partners. Every time you post a job with us, you’re helping to strengthen the sector we all care so deeply about. From all of us at CharityJob, thank you for helping us make this possible.
