At HLK, we’re committed to putting people first and helping to shape the world around us.
Part of this approach is to look outwards, towards communities we can support. We want our people to feel connected to the communities around us and causes they believe in, so that we can make a difference.
Community focus
For a number of years, the firm has had a charity and donations fund. Funds are set aside each year from which small grants are awarded to support charities, community organisations or projects nominated by our people. These might be schools, sports clubs, play groups or environmental groups that mean something to our people and will benefit their local communities.
Supporting good causes
Additionally, when our people fund raise or take part in charity events, such as marathons, cycle rides, sponsored walks, bake sales amongst others, they can apply to the fund for a charitable donation to the charity in question, boosting the amount raised.
Over the last few years, charities that have received donations include Alzheimer’s Society, Cancer Research UK, Jonathan’s Voice, Macmillan Cancer Support, The Stroke Association, The Lewy Body Society and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
