Xaar has chosen Break as its UK charity partner for the next three years, pledging to match all funds raised up to a sum of £20,000 per year. The selection was made by the business’s appointed charity champions as a key element of its sustainability roadmap.
Break’s work across the east of England offers a stable home to young adults as they leave care, offering them support as they move towards independent living.
The money raised by Xaar group’s UK employees in Cambridge, Huntingdon, Kettering and Hemel Hempstead will fund initiatives that include access to employment pathways, a volunteer mentor, and opportunities to build confidence.
Xaar will connect its UK workforce with those seeking support from Break, and help with mentoring and workshops, support on CVs, job interviews.In addition, the potential for work placements and long-term employment will be offered.
John Mills, CEO of Xaar, said: “I am delighted that our charity champions have selected Break as our UK charity partner for the next three years. Together we have a clear vision, sharing the joint values of encouraging and nurturing skills, and we are now focused on building a partnership that will take our support beyond fundraising.”
