Walker & Sutcliffe, the chartered accountancy practice based in Huddersfield, is placing its clients at the heart of its charitable giving with the launch of its B1G1 (Buy One Give One) 2023 commitments.
The charitable initiative will see each Walker & Sutcliffe client choose a global goal that they would like to support when they join the practice and when each piece of work associated with designated activity is completed. The practice will then give a donation to B1G1 on their behalf.
The company’s aim is to see its outputs support someone, somewhere with something!
Practice Partner, Nick Ledgard, explains: “At Walker & Sutcliffe we don’t just want to be purpose-driven, we want to be an impact-driven business. B1G1, which connects businesses with global goals and high impact projects that deliver tangible benefits, is a great way to do this.
Each global goal, which is associated to either education, environment, food, health, shelter, income generation, human rights or life enhancement, has a carefully selected project linked to it. High-impact projects include teaching life skills to young adults through sport in Bangladesh to giving medical support to children in need in Ukraine.
Nick continues: “As a team we chose which project we wanted to link to each global goal. But, we leave it to our clients to choose which global goal is right for them. As an example, it could be climate action or zero hunger that aligns with their values as a business.
“We believe in giving back and knowing that our colleagues and clients are playing a role in this approach makes it all the more meaningful.”
B1G1 a social enterprise and non-profit organisation that wants to create a world full of giving. B1G1 helps businesses create an impact with each designated business transaction, which helps deliver projects around the world. It is one of the many ways in which Walker & Sutcliffe chooses to give back.
