Community Involvement

The Group continues to foster strong relationships with the communities in which we are based and we have links with local businesses, primary schools and charities. We are socially responsible employer and aim to make a positive contribution both locally and internationally.

Schools
One of our stronger community links is with Lawdale Primary School and is coordinated by the Tower Hamlets Business Education Partnership. A group of London based employees volunteer to visit the school on a weekly basis to assist the children with their reading. Charles Stanley also has fundraising activities for Lawdale School with the proceeds raised being used to arrange extracurricular activities for the children.

Business
Charles Stanley also has strong links with other City firms that are established either through work or, more often than not, through sport. The Group frequently sponsors sporting events ranging from golf to rugby and racing at Sandown. Our employees also participate in inter-firm competitions including 5 a-side football tournaments, inter-company cricket and the Stock Exchange Sailing Club.

Charities
In addition to our Charity of the Year we undertake a number of other charitable activities, including the donation of redundant computers to the Katete Boarding School in Zambia.
