The Sapphire Foundation Celebrates One Year of Compassionate Giving and Community Impact
This week we are celebrating The Sapphire Foundation’s first anniversary. One year ago, we established this charitable initiative to empower our employees to nominate and support local charities close to their hearts. The impact has been truly remarkable, as we have collectively donated an outstanding amount to various causes. Over the past decade since our business’s inception, we have contributed over £500,000 to charity.
However, with the establishment of The Sapphire Foundation, our dedication to making a difference in our community has reached new heights. Throughout this past year, we have touched the lives of numerous individuals and organizations, providing assistance to a diverse range of causes such as food banks, sports teams, cancer charities, mental health support groups, children’s hospices, and animal sanctuaries. Our employees’ commitment to volunteering in community projects, running marathons and holding fundraising events for the greater good has been inspiring, making our first year an extraordinary journey of compassion and giving back.
“I am extremely proud to be supporting charities in our local community which are close to my heart. The one-year anniversary of The Sapphire Foundation marks a significant milestone of our journey, and we have some exciting fundraising opportunities planned for the year ahead. Since the business started, we have donated over £500,000 to local charities, sports teams and schools across the Northwest and our support to charities will continue for many years to come.”
“As a growing organization with over 1,100 employees, we wanted to find a way of supporting local charitable causes which are close to the hearts of our people. The Sapphire Foundation achieves this objective, by enabling our employees to nominate their chosen charities every month and it’s been great to see the difference our support can make in our local communities especially during the challenging last couple of years. Playing an active role in the local communities in which we live and operate in, is vital in enabling to our employees making a positive local contribution. The Sapphire Foundation has played a critical role in helping not only with our local engagement but empowering our employees to become a catalyst for change in their local communities. I look forward to supporting many more local and national causes over the coming years and would like to thank everyone for the part they have played in the journey so far.”
As we reflect on the past year’s accomplishments, we are humbled by the positive change we’ve been able to bring to the lives of those in need. The Sapphire Foundation stands as a testament to the power of collective action and community engagement. It is a symbol of our unwavering commitment to philanthropy, and we are eager to continue this journey, supporting even more causes and making a lasting impact on our local community. With each passing year, we aspire to grow and extend our outreach, leaving a trail of compassion and hope in our wake. Together, united by our shared values, we will continue to make a difference and inspire others to join us in making the world a better place for all.
