Ambassadeurs Group

Help us on our hike! We are preparing for the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge to support our colleague Phoebe and to raise money for Ronald McDonald House Charities - a fantastic charity which aims to ensure families can be by their child’s bedside when they need to be – whilst also maintaining as much of a normal life as possible, and at the same time reducing the emotional and financial strain that comes with an ill child. ‘This truly incredible charity provides invaluable support to families going through a difficult time,’ explains Phoebe. ‘Every donation, no matter how big or small, has a real life impact that we have witnessed first-hand. Our mission is to raise as much awareness as possible for this deserving charity so that they can continue to help the families who need it.' https://lnkd.in/eemTyjaM

We've loved volunteering this summer! Giving back to our community is something we're driven by and value. Our WorkFamily get two paid days of volunteer time each year, and we look to keep growing this area of work and making sure our team can give back to causes they're most passionate about. A huge thanks to The Felix Project, Thames21, Refettorio Felix & Dogs Trust for having us these past few months and giving us more insight to the inspiring work you all do! https://lnkd.in/edMPc6X4

Another amazing day yesterday for our WorkFamily volunteering at Dogs Trust, supporting their re-homing centre in Harefield. What could be better than a day in the sunshine, helping out and getting to meet the best dogs?! Thank you for having us!

We have always aimed to prioritise innovation and impact through our charity initiatives, and very much recognised these qualities in the fantastic organisation Cool Earth. They recently began the world’s first basic income pilot for Indigenous people who live in rainforests to protect the forest and fight the climate crisis. We are proud to have supported this project through a donation of £25,000, and now to see their early stage successes. “Poverty is the biggest driver of deforestation in these areas. These communities in very remote areas not only face a lack of access to basic needs – healthcare, food, education – but on top of that they face the climate crisis. There are more fires in the forest and more droughts. There are also a lot of illegal economies going into these places: illegal logging, illegal mining and drug cartels. Growing drugs is one of the main drivers of deforestation in the areas of the Amazon where we work. “When people are in urgent need and want to take their children for medical care or to school, sometimes these cycles of poverty lead them to take on roles in those illegal activities, or to sell their land or allow their trees to be cut down. Giving them financial support gives them a choice to have a more sustainable way of living.”

Thank you so much Ambassadeurs Group for your support of The Felix Project. You're belief in what we do and your generous donation is helping us feed hundreds of thousands of Londoners in need with vital and nutritious surplus food. 💚💚💚

The Felix Project continue to deliver incredible impact in both tackling food poverty and food waste across London. We are in awe of your hard work and continued ability to reach the people most in need, and are proud to have supported in raising donations this summer to provide over half a million meals to London's most vulnerable children before the summer holidays. https://lnkd.in/eQxvrJhg

It continues to be a pleasure to support Barrie Wells Trust and to see wonderful memories being made!
