Giving something back to the communities we work in is an important part of The Openwork Partnership’s approach to business. We have, therefore, established the Openwork Foundation to be the focus of our charitable activity.

Brian Downton has been on the fundraising committee for The Openwork Foundations since 2005.

Through the Openwork Foundation we support people who face disadvantage, poverty or physical or mental distress. We do this by supporting charities that help disadvantaged people to achieve a more independent future.

The Foundation’s programme supports disadvantaged children and young people up to the age of 18 to help them move from dependence to independence.

Last year we raised over £500,000. For more information about the charity please click here.

We also support Holding On letting Go, a wonderful charity who support bereaved children, young people and their families, before or after the death of someone close. Brian is the Deputy Chair of Trustees and the Treasurer of the charity and believes wholeheartedly in their mission. Your donation could go a long way to supporting people to put their lives back together after a tragic loss.

Holding On Letting Go charity supporting bereaved children, young people and families through counselling and community support.
