Charity at Penn Group
We all need some help in our lifetimes. Some more than others.
Sometimes a little, sometimes a lot.
Our day job is to provide our clients with great service and holistic advice in all areas of professional services we are experts in. Everything we do for charity is for the soul, and more enjoyable, if we feel we have been able to make a difference in people's lives.
We are committed to giving something back to society in our own little way.
Penn Group pledge to pay at least £5,000 per year to charitable institutions, preferably those that are smaller and may not get as much exposure as the big organisations do.
We want to see that the money that we pledge helps directly to a specific cause wherever possible.
The money is raised by challenging activities and any shortfall is made up from our own funds. That is our commitment and we intend to honour it every year.
Please help us help others, where you can and how you can.
