PwC in the community

PwC in the community

Every activity PwC undertakes, both as a firm and our individual people, has an impact on the community in which we operate. We aim to make a difference to the communities we work and live in and we empower our people to do the same.

We’re involved with a number of charities and community groups and many of our people give their time and skills to assist these organisations. See below to read more about some of the activities and causes we support.

Supporting local charities

We actively support local charities by allowing individuals to get involved on their own merit.

Where a request is received to support financially, we consider the aims and objectives of the charity, put it to our locally appointed CSR committee, and come up with a firm-wide position and support for the charity. We inform all staff members on a quarterly basis of all our community service and financial donations creating awareness and allowing individuals to get involved where they feel passionate about a particular cause.

We represent a number of local charities at board level. In doing so, we provide professional advice on a pro-bono basis.

RICC's aim is to help children with cancer by funding research which not only looks at ways of 'curing' but which also endeavours to make that means of healing less traumatic.
