Thank you to Greenhouse Sports and students from St Paul’s Way Trust School, who recently joined Hamish Grant and team in our offices for an enriching afternoon learning about potential careers in the industry. We’re proud of the continued efforts of Bridgepoint colleagues to give back to local communities and widen access to the financial services industry 🙌
🌟 Last week, I had the absolute pleasure of welcoming a group of 12 bright and enthusiastic children from St Paul's Way Trust School in Tower Hamlets to Bridgepoint’s Marble Arch office, as part of the Greenhouse Sports charity initiative. 🌟 Greenhouse is a remarkable London-based charity which uses the power of sport to engage young people and improve their life chances. By partnering with schools and placing full-time coaches in the school environment, Greenhouse empowers and inspires young people growing up in disadvantaged communities. Their work helps to develop essential social, thinking and physical skills through sport and providing a pathway to a brighter future. 🎾 As a proud sponsor of Greenhouse, it made me very happy to see these young individuals explore our workplace. Earlier this year we visited St Paul's Way to engage with the same children about career topics whilst being coached tennis skills by the very talented Chris, a Greenhouse coach. Last week's visit was designed to continue those conversations and to give our guests new perspectives on potential careers. They asked some great questions and loved our office with its views over Hyde Park and free snacks. They even bumped into our Founder, William, in the lift! It was a wonderful experience and a great way of giving something back to the next generation; to a group of children who may have less access to the financial services industry. I hope their time with us was as inspiring for them as it was for all of us at Bridgepoint. #Bridgepoint #GreenhouseSports
