Our Mauritius team did not forget to give back to the community during the festive season. During the month of December, the Charity Committee partnered with the charity Planète Enfants Vulnérables and M-Kids Association to support underprivileged children and families on the island. Our colleagues donated 20 ‘Christmas baskets,’ full of basic necessities as well as clothes and school supplies, to distribute the baskets to 20 families. Thinking on how they could help further, the team purchased school materials to ensure every child had everything they needed for the next year in support of M-Kids Association’s initiative.

With the coronavirus pandemic keeping our UK and Ireland offices working from home for the majority of the year, they decided to do what they could to help their local communities as much as possible. Over the course of the year they donated to a variety of charities, including Foodbanks, Children’s hospices, the Manila disaster relief fund amongst many others. They have also supported a number of staff individual causes. Thanks to everyone’s generosity, combined with additional amounts contributed by IQ-EQ there has been over £40,000 in donations to the charities across in UK and Ireland this year! Congratulations to all involved. To see a full list of charities the UK and Ireland teams donated to, as well as individual efforts from our colleagues.
