Zurich supports around 600 charities and 19 community partners and our employees and advisers donated over £1 million. Around 3,000 Zurich employees volunteered through 212 challenges and other initiatives, and donated over 39,000 hours. Over 104,000 disadvantaged people were supported.
Here's what some of the charities we are involved with have to say about us:
“Addaction is delighted to continue working in partnership with the Zurich Community Trust on Breaking the Cycle. The support will enable us to build on the success of the pilots and scale-up the impact Breaking the Cycle can have on families affected by substance misuse. This will help us realise the national potential of this ambitious social transformation project.”
Simon Antrobus, CEO, Addaction
“Zurich’s input has been crucial in helping us build the dream.”
K N Gopinath, Director of Programmes, Association of People with Disability, Bangalore
“Zurich Community Trust has worked in close partnership with Age UK to develop and replicate the Call in Time programme. This unique programme has been proven to have a huge positive impact on the lives of lonely isolated older people with over 80 percent of older beneficiaries saying that the phone call from their volunteer friend is one of the things that they most look forward to in the week. Zurich’s volunteers are fantastic and they also tell us that they get so much enjoyment and satisfaction from calling their older friends.
The Call in Time programme is now one of Age UK’s flagship programmes and we are making good progress in supporting more older people by recruiting additional corporate partners to join the Call in Time programme.”
Jan Williams, Age UK Programme Manager.
