How we made an impact over 2023
ACT exists to enable all our Ardonagh colleagues, no matter where they are in the world, to join in our mission to build better, brighter and stronger futures for all.
Over the past six years, ACT – alongside The Ardonagh Group's people and our businesses – have raised over £5.5 million, which has all gone back into causes across the globe that strive to make a positive impact, however big or small.
As we progress into 2024, we look back on the successes of 2023.
Making a splash in 2023
The total ripple effect of giving back – whether through funds, time, skills or donations – is immeasurable. However, we’ve totted up some of our stand-out impact statistics from the year just gone.
In 2023, a grand total of over £730,000 was donated to hundreds of charities connected to our people, including…
- £218,000+ in ACT Community Grants - an increase of £60,000 more than in 2022
- £240,000+ raised by colleagues through personal fundraisers, boosted by a further £90,000+ in ACT match funding – over double the overall total donated in 2022!
- £100,000 for over 95 charities in our Give Back event, alongside more than 6,200 items donated to charities and food banks
- £45,000 invested in the young winners of our 2023 Bright Future Prize
- 2,800 hours of volunteering time to causes you care about
All these, alongside further significant donations to causes including; Samaritans, Cancer Fund for Children, Red Cross International and James’ Place.
Just like Ardonagh, we never stop – and so we head into 2024 reinvigorated to continue to make a difference.
