In 2007 the Simplyhealth Group Charitable Committee donated nearly £3m to health and wellbeing-related causes (£1m of which had been carried over from 2006). Several national charities benefited including Princess Royal Trust for Carers, Prostate UK, Alzheimer’s Society and Help the Hospices.
Last year we also gave £500k locally via our Trading Division Community Funds and the HealthSure Charitable Trust. In addition the LHF Convalescent Home Charitable Trust also donated funds.
The other gift we made was one of time and enthusiasm. Our employees love getting involved in causes close to their hearts and homes, and wherever possible we did our best to ensure they could do so by giving away 200 volunteer days last year. This included our ‘Help the Hospice’ initiative where 100 Simplyhealth employees teamed up with five hospices for a day to work on a number of construction and fundraising activities.
