Our staff love to give their time and energy to support local charities and community efforts and The GTH Charitable Trust makes regular donations and match-funding pledges to boost donations. We choose a charity to support each year alongside many other office based events and personal challenges for causes close to our hearts. In addition to fundraising, we understand the importance of caring for our environment and are actively looking at ways to reduce our impact on it as a firm.
Charity and Community
Our Chosen Charities
Supporting Air Ambulance Charities
Air ambulance charities rely entirely on private donations to keep their key emergency services running. Over the last couple of years, our staff have taken part in a variety of events in support of Dorset & Somerset and Devon crews, and the firm has donated significantly to their vital work through its charitable trust.
