At Engage Consulting, our commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility extends beyond the energy sector. We’re proud to support causes that matter to our team, and we’re delighted to announce our recent donation to ONSIDE Advocacy, a charity close to the heart of one of our Lead Consultants, Tom Desmond.
Tom commented.“ONSIDE does incredible work supporting people who often face unseen challenges. As someone with personal ties to the charity, I’m proud that Engage Consulting is backing a charity that makes such a tangible difference. It’s inspiring to see our team’s values reflected in the causes we support.”
About ONSIDE Advocacy
Established in 1993, ONSIDE provides vital support across Worcestershire and Herefordshire to people who face disadvantage and inequality of access within their communities. The charity recognises that many individuals encounter barriers when seeking the right support, services, information and advice. Through a range of carefully designed services, ONSIDE helps people overcome these obstacles, empowering them to speak up, make informed decisions, improve their health and wellbeing, and engage more fully with their communities.
Supporting the Worcester City Runs
Our donation formed part of the sponsorship for this year’s Sutcliffe & Co Insurance Brokers Events of the North Worcester City Runs. The event proved to be a tremendous success, with runners, supporters and sponsors coming together to raise over £7,500 for ONSIDE. These funds will go directly towards supporting people accessing ONSIDE’s services.
The event brought together a remarkable group of sponsors and partners, including Hewett Recruitment | BCorp™ and Bolero’s Bar, alongside Engage Consulting. This collaborative effort demonstrates the power of local businesses working together to make a meaningful difference in their communities.
Jade Bleese, Fundraising and Engagement Manager at ONSIDE commented “We’re incredibly grateful to Engage Consulting for their generous support. Donations like this help us continue providing vital services to those who need them”
Our Approach to Corporate Social Responsibility
Supporting our team members’ chosen causes is an important part of our Corporate Social Responsibility ethos. When our staff are personally connected to organisations doing valuable work in their communities, we’re pleased to be able to contribute. This approach ensures our charitable giving has a genuine impact in areas that matter to the people who make Engage Consulting what it is.
From supporting the Fuel Bank Foundation in addressing fuel poverty to backing local charities like ONSIDE, we recognise the importance of giving back to communities across the UK. These organisations provide essential services that help individuals and families navigate challenging circumstances.
Looking Ahead
The success of the Worcester City Runs highlights what can be achieved when businesses, charities and individuals work together towards a common goal. We’re already looking forward to supporting next year’s event and continuing our partnership with ONSIDE Advocacy.
