In 2019, Equistone committed to establishing a more formalised framework of third sector activity in the UK. As a result, a Charity Committee was established with the aim of supporting a Charity of the Year through raising awareness and fundraising activities.
Annually Equistone invite nominations from staff, and any nominated charity must meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Benefit the local community near one of its UK offices
- Be personally meaningful to the nominating member of staff
- Ideally be an organisation where the greater part of any donation will have a direct impact
Staff and Trustees were delighted to receive news of the nomination from Equistone and following an informative meeting (virtual for 2020), were told the good news!
Equistone will be hosting awareness and fundraising events during 2021 on behalf of Thrombosis UK, have made meeting space in their UK offices and in kind support available for the charity and have confirmed an unrestricted donation of £25,000 to Thrombosis UK, which will enable the charity to significantly extend its support for research into venous thromboembolism (VTE).
