We not only support the Not for Profit sector by finding the best calibre personnel for the variety of interesting roles on offer, our staff also give their time to support various causes as teams or individuals. Our Consultants chose to work in this sector as they enjoy the challenge of using their skills and experience to find the right people to enhance an organisation.
We enjoy supporting the sector we work with and believe this gives us an empathy which is reflected in our commitment of service to both our candidates and clients. Many people within TPP like to support charities in their spare time……..here are just some of the things we have taken part in:
CEO – Jayne Morris – Volunteered at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Christmas 2007. Jayne also spent a week trekking with a team around the Grand Canyon in October 2008 raising money for the Children’s Society.
James Hunt – Participated in June 2008 in Europe’s largest fundraising walk for HIV and AIDS; ‘Crusaid Walk for Life’. James is also participating in a Marathon based in New York later this year, raising money for Marie Curie Cancer Care.
Rob Hayter – October 2007, took part in the ‘Czech Wrecks’ Calais to Prague rally in a £100 car, The African Queen. 150 teams, 1500 miles and six countries including the Stelvio Pass in Switzerland as featured on Top Gear, raising money for the Kirkwood Hospice.
Sarah Fernandez – November – December 2008. Whilst in Ghana Sarah and a friend spent a lot of time working closely with the children at a local orphanage in a village called Obo. After seeing and experiencing how these children live and their way of life they decided that they needed to do something to help generate money for the orphanage on a long term basis. It is here they came up with a business idea which involved them solely funding and creating a crèche from scratch using a derelict room that was based at the rear of the orphanage.
The Crèche is now an independent business that will in time support and fund the orphanage, eventually removing it from all charity funding and making it self sufficient. Sunshine Creche has been up and running for 4 months now. All children are supplied with a uniform and are looked after by a qualified teacher.
TPP – ‘You’re Inspired’ - A team of 10 TPP staff took part in a corporate challenge set by the Princess Alice Hospice, Esher. The team were loaned £100 and had to make as much money as possible within the month of April. They organised many events including a Grand National sweepstake, dress down day, loose change jar and a couple of coffee mornings. The main event was a 80’s Charity Night, this consisted of an 80’s inspired Fashion show, an auction and a raffle.
The overall amount achieved for the Challenge was £2801! The team were awarded 2nd place and also won the Innovation Award for our Charity Night! It was a great achievement, great fun and a team building event and the total from all the teams was £16,000+ for the Hospice.
Stewart Young – 2009 – Is presently volunteering his time assisting the CBEF (Charity Employers Benevolent Fund) with their marketing initiatives and advertising for 2009.
TPP are also advertising Volunteer Jobs for our clients, where people can gain experience in working within the Charity and NFP Sector.
