My Charity of the Week is Zurich Community Trust. For fifty years now, this brilliant charity has been supporting the local community through a range of grant-making, fundraising, and volunteering programmes, which makes them one of the longest-established corporate trusts in the UK.
During that time, Zurich Community Trust have awarded grants and brokered business volunteer time from Zurich Insurance UK valued at over £90 million to deserving causes.
Through their work with a huge variety of community partners and supported by the funds, time and talent donated by Zurich and its employees, Zurich Community Trust have addressed a raft of social issues to bring about positive change to those facing tough times.
Each year they award around £1.75 million in grants and help improve the quality of life for thousands of disadvantaged people.
