Through our Matched Giving programme, we double the difference our people make, supporting the causes that matter most to them. We match up to £1,000 to boost our people’s fundraising and donations.
We’ve pledged that by FY30, 5% of our profits will go directly to the Collinson Foundation. These funds will fuel programmes in education, employment, entrepreneurship, innovation, and crisis support, helping to unlock opportunities and transform lives for those who need it most.
Every colleague receives three paid volunteer days each year to dedicate to causes close to their hearts. In the past year alone, more than 700 colleagues contributed over 6,000 hours, supporting 50 charities across the globe.
The Collinson Foundation exists to unlock opportunities for those who need it most in our communities. We do this through Charitable Partnerships, Community Grants, Volunteering, and Matched Giving Programmes.
We focus our efforts across three main areas: Education and Employment, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, and Supporting People in Times of Crisis. We believe these areas are where we, as a group, can have the greatest impact.
We’re committed to breaking down barriers to education and employment for young people around the world. By supporting programmes that offer skills training, mentorship, academic access, and workplace inclusion, the Collinson Foundation is helping to shape brighter, more equitable futures.
At the Collinson Foundation, we believe innovation thrives when communities are given the resources and confidence to lead. While our external partnerships in this area are currently being developed, we're actively investing in change through our internal initiatives.
The Collinson Foundation is a founding member of Save the Children’s Humanitarian Network. We respond swiftly to global and local crises, supporting food security, safe refuge, and disaster relief through trusted partners delivering vital impact.
"Creating a formal foundation gives us a powerful way to scale the positive impact we want to have in our communities. We’re channeling our efforts into education and employment, entrepreneurship and innovation, and supporting people in times of crisis."
For Clinical Support Assistant Andrea Christian, the chance to take part in her first-ever skydive wasn’t just about ticking off a bucket-list dream, it was a heartfelt commitment to a cause close to her teammate’s heart. Inspired by colleague Lucy Pond’s tireless support of the Lily Foundation, which aids those affected by mitochondrial disease, Andrea joined six other teammates to take the leap.
Her jump was both a personal challenge and a shared mission, showing how courage and community spirit can turn fear into meaningful change. Together, they raised awareness and vital funds, proving that bold actions can inspire lasting impact.
Collinson Group’s Chief Strategy Officer, David Evans, travelled to Kenya to witness the profound impact of our long-term partnership with Save the Children. In Nairobi, he met young entrepreneurs building self-sustaining businesses with the charity’s support, and in drought-stricken Turkana, he saw how local communities are adapting to the effects of climate change through access to clean water and resilient livelihoods.
The trip also included high-level discussions with Kenyan government representatives, USAID, and UK diplomats, exploring how cross-sector collaboration can unlock even greater change for vulnerable communities.
In 2024, Collinson colleagues stepped up to join the fight against food waste and hunger, volunteering their time and energy with the Felix Project. From preparing hot meals in bustling kitchens to packing and distributing essential supplies in warehouses, our teams played a hands-on role in delivering over 38 million meals and 1.5 million non-food items to more than 1,200 community groups across London.
This partnership does more than address food insecurity, but builds understanding and a shared sense of purpose between our people and the communities they work in.
Despite heavy rain and icy water, 11 determined Collinson Group colleagues, including our Collinson International CEO Christopher Evans, took on the challenge of the Blenheim Palace Triathlon in support of education and employment and confidence-building opportunities.
The Coach Core Foundation is our longest-standing partner and helps young people across the UK through sports apprenticeships. After months of dedicated training, the team’s efforts raised over £11,500, our biggest group fundraiser to date.
Collinson Group is proud to contribute to meaningful change, supporting communities and driving impact beyond business. Through targeted initiatives and partnerships, we’re committed to making a difference where it matters most.
