My organisation encourages charitable activities
The 4Com Foundation is well established now as the company's focal point for fundraising, charity and community activities. Having recently raised over £36,000 for Diverse Abilities' Lilipad Appeal, this has enabled the charity to completely fund an indoor play area and they will be allowing staff to assist with the build during working hours through tasks such as painting and labouring. 4com also have a partnership with Age Concern and Christchurch Angels, where they regularly invite groups of senior citizens from the community to come to the 4com offices for a hot lunch, music, singing and bingo. They have donated a third minibus to Linwood School via Variety Wessex to assist children with profound learning difficulties and assisted 12 separate charities through the '12 Days of Christmas' event. Assistance to charity and community over the last 12 months, in terms of cash donations and equipment, have totalled over £100,000.
