Xaar has celebrated the first year of its charity partnership with Break by donating more than £37,000. Employees raised £18,610, an amount the the company then matched.
Break was chosen as Xaar’s charity partner in April last year and the collaboration has been a key element of the Xaar’s sustainability roadmap since then. Xaar’s UK employees – based in Cambridge, Kettering and Hemel Hempstead – took part in a number of fundraising activities including golf days, multiple people running a half-marathon, sweepstakes, cakes sales, a sponsored silence and the Three Peaks Challenge to raise money for Break.
The charity will use the donation from Xaar for a range of initiatives to ensure that young people in their care feel supported – from help towards independent living and employment pathways, to offering volunteer mentors or confidence-building opportunities.
