Our communities are at the heart of who we are and what we do.
Thriving communities create a healthy environment for businesses to operate and grow. That’s why we’ve made it a priority to contribute to the communities in which we work, live and do business.
From committing to investing at least 1% of net profits annually into our responsible business programme, to giving all our people two days of paid volunteering leave each year, we’re committed to making a real difference in our communities.
To ensure we are making a meaningful difference amid a myriad of challenges, we’ve chosen to focus our efforts on improving social mobility. It’s a cause our people care deeply about and one that emerged as a clear priority in our double materiality assessment.
By investing in programmes that spark the ambition of young people – particularly in areas of greatest need – we aim to remove barriers, open up opportunities, and support brighter futures.
Alongside building long-term, purpose-led partnerships, we also empower our people to give their time and share their expertise, helping to drive change at a local level.
The Foot Anstey Foundation plays a key role in delivering our community impact. It supports strategic charity partnerships, matches the fundraising efforts of our people, and provides small grants to local charities across our regions.
We’re committed to investing at least 1% of net profits annually into our responsible business programme – enabling us to increase the reach and value of our charitable giving.
Since its launch in 2016, and prior to our YHA partnership, the Foundation awarded grants with a strong focus on supporting families in need, tackling childhood poverty, and empowering young people to achieve their potential.
We are committed to donating 1% of our profits annually to our responsible business programme. This enables us to create deeper impact through charity partnerships that align with our ambition to drive social mobility and support the aspirations of young people in our communities.
We have embarked on a three-year strategic partnership with Young Enterprise, a national charity who are changing world of work by equipping young people from disadvantaged backgrounds with the work skills, knowledge and confidence they need to succeed. Our partnership will run from June 2025 – May 2028 and will provide funding and volunteers to improve work-readiness among young people in underserved communities.
In May 2025 we celebrated the completion of our first national partnership with the Youth Hostels Association. We donated over £50,000 enabling 310 individuals to benefit from the Youth Hostels Association Breaks programme. The programme provides fully and partially funded trips for disadvantaged young people and families who face significant barriers to travel and adventure – giving them respite, building confidence and creating space for connection and personal growth.
Our community commitment isn’t just about funding – it’s about people, too. We take pride in living our refreshingly human and collaborative values – which is why we actively encourage our people to invest their time, energy and expertise through volunteering, fundraising and pro bono work.
Every colleague is entitled to two days of paid volunteering leave each year, which can be used to support our strategic charitable partnership or causes close to their hearts.
We’re also committed to measuring participation so we can grow engagement, celebrate impact, and ensure our work continues to evolve with purpose.
