inspire / the gunnercooke foundation

over 70% of all charitable donations in the UK were given to just the top 1% of these charities. There are many, many charities operating at the grass roots with almost no funding, no resource and few connections. Does that make their causes any less noble? No. Does it make their leaders any less inspiring? Of course not. These charities are operating in our communities, near to our homes and close to our hearts. And we believe that every business has the power to start helping them, today. Corporate philanthropy is a growing movement. Companies do not operate or exist in isolation from the society around them. The more social improvement a company undertakes, the more it will lead to economic benefits to the company. Social and economic goals are not in conflict but are integral to a company?s growth. inspire* exists to provide that connection. Inspire* connects businesses and business people to a purpose beyond profits. There are numerous ways that businesses can become involved in inspire* and make a difference.
