Bonfire is amongst the first 29 companies in the country to receive a new level of quality mark for our contribution to charity. Having held the Gold award for the last 4 years in a row it is a great acknowledgement of the team’s support to making a difference.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of Payroll Giving in the UK and the Institute of Fundraising has celebrated the occasion by launching a new ‘Platinum’ level of Quality Mark to the existing Payroll Giving Quality Mark Awards.
The Platinum Quality Mark Award recognises employers that continually strive to increase donations to UK charities through Payroll Giving. Employers that are recognised through the Platinum Award have committed themselves to promoting Payroll Giving in the workplace and increasing charitable donations.
The Payroll Giving Quality Mark is funded by HM Government, organised in conjunction with the Institute of Fundraising and administered by the Payroll Giving Centre.
Every year we shut up shop for a day to review our past year’s activity in line with our corporate social responsibility commitments and plan for the year ahead. This year, our away day was hosted by Keech Hospice Care in Luton, our nominated charity for 2011/12, and facilitated by Goodthings, a CSR consultancy dedicated to aligning personal and organisational goals.
Bonfire director, Stephen Judge, will be assessing competition entries for the second year running as part of the University of Creative Arts’ (UCA) annual Creative Challenge programme. The competition is open to all students at UCA.
