Through our Community Support Programme, we aim to:

• Support charities and voluntary initiatives in the community that are
  relevant to our business objectives and brand values;
• Increase financial contributions through company donations, employee fundraising and payroll giving;
• Maximise contribution delivered through non-financial means, such as volunteering;
• Create lasting value for our community partners and employees through training and skills development;
• Raise our profile in local communities;
• Maximise the value of our partnerships, by measuring KPIs;
• We support charities and voluntary initiatives in the community at various levels. See our list of partners for more details.

We do not:

• Match fundraising by employees for charities other than our corporate charity partner;
• Pay for individual or team entry fees to participate in sporting events other than those organised for or by our corporate charity partner;
• Fund political or religious organisations, including local churches;
• Support non-UK based charities and organisations or UK based organisations whose work helps those outside the UK – with the exception of our established partnerships with CARE International, Earthwatch, World Wildlife Fund and Comic Relief;
• Pay for employees overseas trips and travel expenses to take part in fundraising events (possible exception includes if event is being organised
  by Allianz).
