VWV Announces Its Support for Four New Charities

The support will span two years and involve a variety of fundraising activities, as well as donations from the VWV Charitable Trust.

Director of Human Resources at VWV, Sarah Cook said:

"It’s important as a firm we involve ourselves in philanthropic and CSR initiatives.

By committing to two-year relationships, we can enhance our support and contribute further to each charity's long-term goals. Our colleagues are key in selecting the charities; ones that they feel passionately about and/or have a personal connection to."

We previously chose The Prince's Trust as our charity including supporting the annual Prince's Trust 'Future Steps' challenge. We raised over £35,000 just in relation to Future Steps in the last four years including £5,400 being raised this year.
