Northamptonshire insurance brokers' donates £1,875 to charity through staff grants scheme

A Northamptonshire insurance brokers' has donated £1,875 to charities and causes close to their hearts through a philanthropic employee grants scheme.

Farmers and Mercantile Insurance Brokers’ (FMIB) gave its employees the opportunity to nominate a charity of their choice to receive a £125 donation through MyGiving, generating £25,000 for 140 different organisations.

Fifteen donations were made by the team based outside Sywell for Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, The National Animal Welfare Trust, Mind, Macmillan Cancer Support, Willen Hospice, Marie Curie, Bowel Cancer UK, Northampton Hope Centre, Hospital at Home and the Matt Hampson Foundation.

Office head Barbara Adnitt said: “A commitment to corporate social responsibility lies at the very the heart of our culture and ethos.

“Not only do all of our available profits go to the Allchurches Trust, which in turn invests them back into the community, but our staff fully embrace the business’ charitable approach to giving back to those in need.

“We’re delighted to give our employees the opportunity to donate to the causes they care about, and to give deserving organisations an unexpected boost during these trying economic times.”
