Simpson Associates chosen charities for Q4

Supporting the local community

As a company it’s important for us to do our part for the wider community. For that reason, we have a dedicated in-house charity committee made up of employees from across the business who are passionate for helping others. 

Businesses can have such a positive impact for their local area and for that reason the first way we decided to help was by taking part in YorkMix’s Toy Appeal. YorkMix is a York radio station who, in partnership with ASDA and Monks Cross organised a donation spot for people to donate toys, which local charities then hand out to children who might otherwise not receive a gift.  

A few members of our charity committee purchased and then donated over £500 worth of toys to the toy appeal on behalf of Simpson Associates. The toy appeal helps to make sure that no child wakes up without a gift to open on Christmas Day. This Christmas will be hard for many, so we’re delighted to be able to make a difference to a child’s Christmas. 

In addition, we also raised money for British Heart Foundation by hosting a quiz for the whole company. Nearly everyone got involved which was great, and so far, we’ve raised over £200.  

We look forward to continuing to support our local community and charities in the future! 

“Ensuring that we actively involve our team in giving back to the community and making everyone aware of how they can support causes is something that’s so important to the business. Watching everyone come together to raise money, while having fun, is lovely to see.”
