Our charity partnerships
Our charity partnerships
Unite Foundation
We partner with and are the principal corporate donor to the wholly independent Unite Foundation, a charity which we set up over a decade ago to provide accommodation scholarships to young people without family support.
Their nationwide scholarship scheme supports estranged and care experienced students with the provision of a rent-free home at university.
Since 2012, we've donated over £15 million to the charity, providing over 700 scholarships to young people.
British Heart Foundation
We have partnered with the British Heart Foundation since 2017 helping train nearly 600 students and staff in CPR across the UK and raising over £1m through stock donations.
All of our properties have donation points and we're proud to the the foundations largest Purpose-Built-Student-Accommodation (PBSA) donator with thanks to students and staff donating clothing. This has saved over 2 million kg in C02 gas emissions and over 200,000 kgs of materials from going to landfill.
The Bike Project
It costs just £100 to get each refugee on the road. This covers the cost of the refurbished bike, a helmet, lock, lights, and a road safety training session from a professional cycling instructor.
We're proud to support London based charity ‘The Bike Project’. The charity collect abandoned and unwanted bikes, refurbish them and then (primarily) donates them to refugees as a means of transport.
All our students and employees can get 10% off any purchase from their online store which sells refurbished bikes and cycle accessories.
