Historically,
Ashfield had a localised approach to supporting charities and communities
aligned with their individual operating offices. Ashfield Cares has been
created to allow individuals to give back to their local communities whilst bringing
all employees efforts together under one global umbrella.
The
initiative has been launched as part of a wider engagement programme known as
The Ashfield Way which aims to actively support both charitable and non-charitable
causes, and will assist organisations in addressing healthcare, community
development, and educational needs through fundraising activities and the
provision of time and skills. This support underpins Ashfield’s pledge to
make use of its
extensive resources and geographical reach with the determination and support
of its employees to make a positive impact on the communities and wider society
it serves.
Commenting
on the launch, Chris Corbin, Chief Executive Officer at Ashfield, said: “Our foremost mission is to improve patients’
lives. At Ashfield, we do this every day by working with our clients to help
healthcare professionals and patients get the medicines, knowledge and support
they need. Ashfield Cares embodies these roots. We aim to actively support
charities and programmes by donating our money, time and skills to worthwhile
projects. We will identify programmes to support and run pledges where
employees can either volunteer their time or raise funds to help a worthy cause.”
Ashfield Cares will
engage all our employees through local committees so that they can take part in
charitable activities supporting their communities. There will be a huge
variety of events, with recent activities including dressing in blue for
prostate cancer awareness, 200 hours given to improving a local park and a toy
bank set up for a children’s institution.
