COMMUNITY

We’re proud of our Island roots and we believe in playing our part to support our local community. That’s why we committed to giving a percentage of our time to support projects and community causes on the Isle of Wight, whether that’s rolling our sleeves up and getting stuck in to beach cleans or providing expert advice and support. We have also undertaken roles to help both the business community and voluntary sector on the Island - both on an ad hoc basis and longer-term relationships with more regular support.

Here are just a few of the organisations we have supported in this way:

  • PR support to highlight the work of the Foundation and encourage more local businesses to contribute funds to support grassroots charities on the Island. Learn more here.

  • Becoming a project sponsor for one of the successful grant recipients to help support them as they develop their project. Learn more here.

  • Advisory support to the PR & Comms lead to help the Foundation raise awareness of its work and encourage donations and alert charities to funding opportunities. Claire also sits on the Island branch of the Foundation’s committee. Learn more here.

  • Matched funded time to help the Island based, independent charity to raise its profile and encourage donations and support for its animal centre and charity-linked five-star boarding facilities. Learn more here.

  • Claire is a Trustee of Community Action Isle of Wight a not-for-profit organisation which works to support more than 1500 voluntary and community organisations across the Island. Learn more here.

  • PR support to raise awareness of the important work undertaken by the organisation on the Isle of Wight and encourage donations and sponsorship. Learn more here.

  • PR support to help the charity promote its free PSA testing sessions which can help with the early detection – the key to successfully treating prostate cancer. We have also helped to highlight some of the group’s fundraising activities. Learn more here.
