Doing good is something that unites us

We Care

At Imagination, we want to make a difference, whether it’s raising money for a charity, supporting a local school or community initiative, or getting out and litter picking.

Our CSR group is employee led, ensuring we focus on the causes that matter most to our people.

During 2022, Imagination supported several charities and good causes, donating over £70,000.

Volunteering

At Imagination we believe in the double benefit of volunteering; for the volunteer who develops their skills and awareness, and the beneficiary who directly benefits from the intervention.

We encourage our employees to support causes that matter to them and utilise our two days paid volunteering leave. Our volunteering framework outlines how the initiative works.

DENS

DENS is a homeless charity for people in Dacorum, Hertfordshire England, near Imagination’s headquarters. DENS does so much more than just provide a roof and a bed for those in need.

Imagination’s collaboration with DENS started in 2021 in which we have continued our corporate sponsorship for their Sponsored Sleepout, as well as being a Business Partner.

Mind

Mind is a mental health charity, with the aim of ensuring that no one faces mental health problems alone.

One of our colleagues decided that 2022 was the year to test our cycling enthusiasts by taking part in the London to Brighton cycle and raising funds for this important charity.

The team raised an impressive £2,363 which the company fund matched for a total of £4,726 being donated to Mind.

Supporting charities

We have three approaches to supporting charities because we believe this is the best way for us to do good as a company and enable are people to do good too.
Showing that we care icon

Making a difference together

Through our CSR team, Imagination identifies charities that our people want to support. We work with these charities, either supporting their events or creating our own, fund matching up to £10,000 per event.

Doing good on your own

We appreciate that our people often have strong affiliations to certain charities, typically due to personal experience or experiences of those closest to them. We want to support our people in doing good and so for any independent fund raising, Imagination will fund match up to the value of £250 per employee per year.

Supporting our local communities

We want to support our local communities, whether it is through supporting local events, litter picking, volunteering, talking in schools or something else. We encourage all employees to share ideas as to how we can continue to make a difference to those around us.
