We were very fortunate to have been named as Blackwood Group’s “Charity of the Year” for 2023. Blackwood Group are a leading human capital advisory firm with offices in London and Manchester.
This has been a wonderful, multi-layered partnership including their staff volunteering in our programmes, an entire workforce day at Arundel which included their staff painting the pavilion amongst other things, and numerous fundraising events organised at their London HQ that raised over £5000 for us.
Quote from Blackwood employee: “This was my second year volunteering at ACCF and I have loved every minute of it. It is such a rewarding experience seeing the children develop in confidence and grow throughout the sessions. It really highlights what amazing work ACCF are doing and how beneficial it is for those involved. I am looking forward to next year and being able to get involved again.”
‘Being Blackwood’s “Charity of the Year” for 2023 has been everything we hoped it would and more. Not only have they raised a significant amount of money for us, they have contributed so much to what we do through the presence of their staff on our site. Whether it be working on our programmes for young people, doing manual work at our venue, or supporting the annual cycle ride, all the Blackwood employees were incredibly enthusiastic and a real pleasure to work with. We are so grateful for everything you have done with us and for us.’ Tim Shutt – Director ACCF
Blackwood have very kindly agreed to support us again in 2024 as we strive to run more programmes, for more young people in 2024. We very much looking forward to their stuff supporting our programmes and other parts of operation.
