Deloitte has added 12 new charities in the UK to its nationwide responsible business programme, 5 Million Futures, as 1,300 staff took part in voluntary work in May
The 12 new charities will join 10 charities who just renewed their existing partnerships with Deloitte. A key theme through many of the partnerships is to support children and young people, and six of the new charity partners are aligned to mental health and wellbeing. The remaining are aligned to homelessness, health, education, employment, and inclusion.
Claire Burton, director of responsible business at Deloitte, said: ‘We invited our people across the UK to nominate a charity they felt passionate about to be a potential charity partner for the Deloitte region in which they work.
‘After receiving over 200 nominations, we created a shortlist based on alignment to our social impact strategy of access to education, employment and inclusion, and invited each charity to apply. The final vote by our people was for the charity that they felt they could strongly support on a specific project or programme in their local area.
