Providing free healthcare to the employees of small charities, ensuring they can access treatment for everyday healthcare costs.
At Engage, we believe in using our expertise and resources to help others. The Engage Charity Health Fund provides free healthcare to the employees of selected small charities and ensures they can access treatment for everyday healthcare costs, including:
More charities are added to the fund every year and we’re always excited to bring some of the benefits enjoyed by employees in the private sector, to those working for small charities.
Rockinghorse is the official fundraiser for the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in Brighton. The charity raises money for life-saving equipment, specialist projects and enhanced services for sick babies, children and young people throughout Sussex.
The Sussex Cancer Fund works with the NHS to help make life better for cancer patients in Sussex. It provides equipment and services that make a real difference to patients who are often on a difficult and stressful journey. The charity also helps fund Sussex-based cancer research programs.
Grassroots Suicide Prevention works tirelessly to connect, educate and campaign on the issue of self-harm and suicide. Key to its work is training people to make life-saving interventions. It runs workshops for individuals, groups and businesses both in-person and online.
“The employees of charities are seldom in their role for generous benefits and perks, and certainly not in the micro-sector. Smaller charities aren’t usually able to make employee benefits a priority, with all incoming revenue being routed directly to the cause, and understandably so.
“Ultimately, these employees are the ones responsible for ensuring the funds exist to help those in society who need support, and that these funds are deployed in a meaningful way. We all know people who may one day need the support these charities offer, or perhaps already do, so we’re delighted to provide whatever support we can to their employees.”
Nick Hale – Founding Director, Engage Health Group
Every Engage team member is given a day off each year to dedicate to a charity of their choice. We also host talks from local charities in our offices. This year, it included a crazy golf challenge in which ‘courses’ were built out of non-perishable food items, later donated to a local food bank. It’s all part of our desire to give back to the wider community in whichever way we can.
