Charity

We don't want our publishing to be the only thing making a difference, which is why we choose a different local charity every year to support through fundraising and awareness campaigns.

Our chosen charity for 2024 is War Child, who are striving for a world in which no child's life is torn apart by war. They protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children living in war zones across the world.

Donate via our JustGiving page.

To make sure we maximise our fundraising efforts, our charity team meets once a month to brainstorm new ideas and ensure everything for our larger events is going smoothly. The team represents a true cross section of our company, with representatives from all departments, and across the company hierarchy, giving everyone a chance to be heard and work to their strengths.

We get our reviewers involved too! Thank you to all who have chosen, generously, to donate their reviewer fees.

Over the years we have supported a variety of charities, and have done many different activities to help raise money. A recent history follows, including highlighted events over the years.
