Christmas Giving 2025: Supporting Causes That Matter

At the end of 2025, we took a slightly different approach to our usual Christmas tradition.

Instead of sending our team Christmas cards, they were invited to nominate a registered charity of their choice. The idea was simple: redirect the cost of cards and postage towards organisations doing meaningful work.

We’re pleased to confirm that all donations have now been made.

What stood out most was the range of causes supported. Across the business, colleagues chose charities working in children’s healthcare, cancer support, mental health, humanitarian aid, safeguarding, and animal welfare. In total, 17 organisations were nominated, reflecting the breadth of causes that matter to us.

The charities supported

• Acorns Children’s Hospice

• ActionAid

• Alder Hey Children’s Hospital Charity

• Alopecia UK

• Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity

• Cancer Research UK

• Dementia UK

• Glasgow Children’s Hospital Charity

• Good Life Dog Rescue

• Islamic Relief

• Leeds Children’s Charity

• Macmillan Cancer Support

• Maggie’s

• Mind

• PDSA

• Safeline

• Save the Children

• The Brooke Hospital for Animals

This initiative turned a small seasonal gesture into something with a more lasting impact, and it was great to see such strong engagement across the team.

We’ll review the approach again next Christmas, but it’s clear this is something people value.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to nominate a charity.
