We have reaffirmed our commitment to the local community and environmental initiatives with a review of its year-to-date activities.
A longtime supporter of local people and communities, the firm has again supported Colindale Foodbank.
We have been providing regular donations throughout 2023. However, our support doesn’t stop there. We have been embracing the spirit of the season all year round.
March saw our team donning their purple apparel and holding a cake sale for International Women’s Day – ultimately raising £200 for Solace Women’s Aid.
In May, we took the opportunity to support staff and the wider community by holing a range of special events for Mental Health Awareness Week, including a refreshing nature walk and fun-filled Pizza Day.
By Friday, our team were celebrating its crowning achievement– raising £300 for SHOUT, the UK’s first 24/7 mental health crisis text service.
Despite this success, our team weren’t resting on their laurels, organising further fundraising events to provide a total of £1,575 for SHOUT and its service users.
On an individual level, the firm has also encouraged team members to get involved with charity initiatives through their interests.
Leading by example, Senior Partner Alain Stechler took part in RideLondon, tackling a 103-mile route in seven hours on behalf of the Shaare Zedek Medical Centre in Jerusalem.
Managing Partner, Robert Bean, said: “It’s been a wonderful year for us at Grunberg & Co, for both client work and the work that we do beyond our desks, for staff, for charity and the local area.
“We recognise our responsibility towards our community in North London and we’re proud to be in a position to offer the range of support that we provide.
“In particular, we’ve been working on our environmental initiatives in-office, using small changes to make a big impact. Our commitment to the Net Zero Now programme has been supported by everyone’s willingness to adapt, with paperless operations, recycling initiatives and persisting with virtual meetings where possible.
“I’d like to thank everyone at the firm and beyond that have helped us this year. Whether that’s supporting our green initiatives or getting involved in charity, our team has made a difference in the community.
“I also want to call on other firms and local businesses to get involved in supporting local people and organisations.
“As we look forward to 2024, we remember that we’re all part of a community, one that is not just for Christmas. Our team has already seen the value of giving year-round, and this is something we’ll be pushing for even more of in the new year.”
