About Towergate


Towergate is Europe’s largest independently owned insurance intermediary established in 1997.

 

With 4,000 staff across 100 UK offices, we make it our business to contribute to the communities in which we operate through a variety of staff and client fundraising activities.

 

We are immensely grateful to everyone who has dressed up, cleaned cars, walked, jumped, cycled or ran to raise money for some great causes.

 

About Towergate Charitable Foundation

 

Building on Towergate Partnership's fundraising success during 2007, Towergate launched the Towergate Charitable Foundation.
 
Towergate Charitable Foundation is a registered charity (charity number 1117359). It’s purpose is to collect money raised by Towergate Partnership and distribute it amongst the charities we support. All Towergate Charitable Foundation costs are met by Towergate Partnership which has created a charity that is able to pass 100% of funds raised to the cause without deduction of administration expenses.

 

The four main charities we are currently supporting include:

 

  • Help the Hospices
  • Cancer Research UK
  • Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH)
  • ChildLine (a part of NSPCC)

 

Towergate Charitable Foundation also supports 6 military related charities for donations collected through the military equipment insurance specialist, Towergate Wilsons. These are:

 

  • British Limbless Ex-Servicemen’s Association (BLESMA)
  • Combat Stress
  • RAF Benevolent Fund (RAFBF)
  • Army Benevolent Fund (ABF)
  • Naval Families Federation (NNF)
  • SSAFA


  
To help the Charities plan for their future funding requirements, we have committed to a 3 year partnership with each of the 4 main charities, pledging a minimum support of £100,000 in 2008 for each of them. Support for each of the six military charities has also been agreed.
 
The Trustees of the Towergate Charity Foundation are: Peter Cullum, Andy Homer, Paul Dyer and Mel Sims

 

How we have made a difference

 

  • £1.8m raised for hospices and other good causes since 2005

  • Towergate donated £500,000 to the Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House in 2007 - invaluable help for a much needed but poorly funded Hospice

  • Towergate staff provided more than 300 boxes of presents for our troops serving in Afghanistan in October 2007

More than 60 Towergate offices are twinned with their local Hospice. Our colleagues donate time, skills and money to help make a real difference to the lives of people who live in our local communities.  In 2008 Towergate Partnership started matching our colleagues’ donations to the key charities we support. Our aim is to more than double the money donated to local hospices and other key charities.

About Staff Fundraising

 

Towergate Partnership believes in having fun and doing good in the local community. It’s a win for the community but also a win for Towergate and our people. Most employees live in the local area so it’s good to improve things for them and it also means that people want to work here as they see we care about their community.
