"We allocate 1% of net fee income and 1% of our time to community, charitable and environmental causes. Everyone is encouraged to get involved in the activities, from planning to execution.

We make donations directly or as matched funds for those raised by others. If we can combine funds with volunteering, so much the better."

Nick Smith, Chair at Eleven

 

Community

We look to support and tackle challenges in the Manchester area including homelessness, food poverty and youth disenfranchisement.

Over the past few years, we have donated tens of thousands to various charities in the North West including: Wood Street Mission, Booth Centre, Mustard Tree, Save the Children, MIND, Coffee4Craig and Speed of Sight.

     

Workplace

Eleven encourage 1% of time out of the office working together to support charities that are close to our hearts, allowing us to build better connections with our colleagues whilst providing support to our local community. 

We have volunteered hundreds of hours at Greenhills Farm, with the Cheshire Wildlife Project on their rewilding activities.

 

Environment

Our 100-year role within the energy transition, since the days of our parent company Ashley & Dumville, means we have a keen eye on the climate and diversity crisis.

As an office based business we’re not great emitters of greenhouse gases but we believe it is good practice to measure and manage our carbon footprint annually and aim to reduce this year on year.

Eleven has volunteered hundreds of hours to supporting environmental projects and collectively donated thousands to green causes.
