Fundraising

We are committed to supporting both local and national charities. In addition to employee-led local fundraising drives, we run national events and initiatives annually.

Fundraising Events

Our company-sponsored fundraising activities focus around a national event, with a different theme each time. Previous activities have included the Three Peaks Challenge, Kaplan’s Got Talent, Kaplan Commonwealth Challenge, Kaplan Factor and our most recent event Hit 10,000 – where we have challenged each of our centres to contribute towards raising over £10,000 through various localised fundraising activities.

Gifts in kind

With the range of resources available to us, we are able to provide support to charities in other ways beyond raising money, such as welcoming charitable usage of our classroom space and providing scholarships, skills training workshops and mentoring to support disadvantaged higher education students.

Give as you earn

Working with Hands On Payroll Giving, employees can easily make regular, tax-free donations to charity, straight from their salary. Currently, over 5% of our employees are signed up to the scheme, donating over £10,000 each year to over 40 different charities and we are aiming to reach the Gold Quality Mark next year to recognise our collective giving efforts.
