Every year, the ACS team supports a number of charities chosen by ACS employees, with our dedicated Charity Committee helping to organise an array of fund-raising events. All the money raised is matched by ACS, doubling the total amount.
The Save the Children Fund, commonly known as Save the Children was established in the United Kingdom in 1919 to improve the lives of children through better education, health care, and economic opportunities, as well as providing emergency aid in natural disasters, war, and other conflicts.
Existing in over 100 countries, Save the Children is the international chosen charity of ACS.
Macmillan Cancer Support is our national chosen charity, one of the largest British charities and provides specialist health care, information and financial support to people affected by cancer. It also looks at the social, emotional and practical impact cancer can have, and campaigns for better cancer care.
Through taking part in Macmillans Coffee Mornings, The Mighty Hike and numorous Bake Off's, ACS has raised a total of £28,477 for Macmillan Cancer Support.
Dysart is a provision for pupils who have a range of severe and complex learning disabilities, from within the Royal Borough of Kingston and beyond. The school is one of our local causes, based opposite the ACS London office and is part of Orchard Hill College Academy Trust. They aim to provide a holistic curriculum, driven by pupils’ individual needs, promoting tolerance and respect for others, that promotes a joy of learning and independence.
ACS aren't afraid of a challenge, with many of the charity events we undertake not for the faint of heart.
Earlier this year a team of 11 fearless Air Charter Service employees recently skydived their way to raising almost £9,000 for children’s charity Momentum, which supports families with children facing cancer or other life-challenging conditions across South West London, Surrey and West Sussex.
Nicola O’Donnell, Corporate Fundraising Manager for Momentum, said: “The ACS team’s fundraising is amazing, I cannot thank them all enough! They have made a huge difference to families who have a child with cancer or life limiting illness.”.
Over the years various teams, and individuals from our network of offices have also have also undertaken Tough Mudder and Spartan races, as well marathons, hikes, dragon boat races and one of us even climbed Kilimanjaro!
Alongside these events, the company also raises money with various events throughout the year. The London HQ holds two parties a year, one in the summer and one at Christmas both of which raise money through donations and raffles. ACS also holds quiz nights, bowling nights, and of course charity bake sales.
But it's not only the headquarters in London that's busy raising money year round, all of the ACS offices around the globe are giving back to the charities above, as well as local charities they've selected. For example, our Johannesburg office has helped create Santa Shoeboxes for orphaned children in South Africa, whilst our US network of offices really got into the spirit of 'Movember' raising money and supporting men's health.
