We are proud to take an active role in supporting charitable causes in the communities we live and work in. Over the last decade we have partnered with several local charities that raise awareness and funds for mental health issues, children and adults with learning disabilities, food banks and people fighting cancer.
In 2024 we forged new relationships and partnered with two local charities; Mind (Havant and East Hants) and the Kirsty Louise Streek Foundation, and in 2025 we formed a further partnership with Rowans Hospice.
We feel very lucky that our staff are constantly suggesting and organising charity events. Throughout the year we have bake sales, quiz nights, and we participate in sport events such as the Great South Run and Tough Mudder. Best of all, Carrington West matches the amount raised by our staff.
As well as our partner charities, our staff receive paid annual leave to volunteer for a charity close to their heart. We offer all staff the opportunity to take one day’s fully paid charity leave per year, where they can donate their time (either individually or in organised groups) to a charity of their choice. To date this has included activities such as beach clean ups, sponsored hiking around the country or working in a soup kitchen. We also offer the staff the opportunity to donate that day’s wage to the charity as well. This has proved very popular and we love seeing the ideas and suggestions come in.
We also believe in giving back at every step of our supply chain. Our in-office watercoolers are from AquAid,a company that works with the Africa Trust to install drinking water pumps in places that need it. In so doing, we have become the proud sponsors of an Elephant Pump in Zimbabwe. We use Fruitful Office for our office fruit deliveries, who are committed to providing a sustainable service. For every 1 basket of fruit we receive at Carrington West, Fruitful Office plant one fruit tree in Malawi. The majority of fruit is sourced in Europe and never airfreighted, and their excess fruit is sent to foodbanks, schools, or animal shelters.
