Hamptons International and The Prince’s Trust: opening doors for young people.
Hamptons International has been a proud Patron of The Prince’s Trust since April 2007, supporting disadvantaged young people across the UK. During this time we have volunteered on various projects and fundraised an incredible £100,000 by giving our time, energy and creativity to this worthy cause.
We’re determined to keep up the good work this year, and are delighted to announce that we have a team currently fundraising for the Princes Trust ‘Palace to Palace’ bike ride - a 45-mile bike ride that sees cyclists pedal from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle! We also have a number of in-branch events planned for the year.
Over the years we have engaged with our customers and communities through various fundraising initiatives, including:
- The glamorous ‘Midnight Garden Ball’ event, with entertainment from the soul singer Beverley Knight
- A ‘Best of British’ charity auction in Dubai, showcasing fantastic prizes from the British Isles to engage with their contacts in the Middle East
- A kite festival in the grounds of Alexandra Palace to engage with young people in the community in a fun way, while raising funds for The Princes Trust
- An inter-office fundraising challenge, including cake bakes, clay pigeon shooting, raffles and skydiving
- A sponsored 39-mile canoe paddle from Windsor to London
These are just some highlights from Hamptons International’s fundraising calendar over the last couple of years, and we look forward to continuing our work with The Princes Trust to help more young people create a better future.
