Charity and Community
The Crown Group has a policy of supporting chosen charities during the year. We do this through a combination of donations and support to people in the business who take part in charity fund raising activities. Charities we support include:
The Variety Club of Great Britain.
For more than 50 years Variety Club Children’s Charity has been helping sick, disabled and disadvantaged children providing Sunshine Coaches, electric wheelchairs, outings to exciting places, equip children’s hospitals and help in many other ways. This is made possible because volunteers from many walks of life give generously of their time and money, supported by a galaxy of celebrities from showbusiness and sport.
The Lady Taverners.
Founded in 1987 is a vital and dedicated fundraising arm of The Lord’s Taverners and tends to focus on fundraising on specially adapted minibuses and sport and recreation for young people with special needs. Over the years The Lady Taveners have built up an extensive regional network throughout the UK, Ireland and Channel Islands.
Children with Leukaemia.
For more than 20 years they have been helping children affected by leukaemia. They fund research into causes and treatments, support families through welfare programmes and campaign on their behalf. Because they receive no funding from the Government, they rely entirely on donations from the public. Their work is supported by many famous friends, their loyal band of volunteers and the generosity of kind individuals and businesses who help them to raise the funds needed to save young lives.
The Forces Children’s Trust.
This is a charity devoted to helping dependant children that have lost a parent whilst serving with the Armed Forces. This charity has the flexibility and ability to make decisions and offer help as needed, with minimum fuss and consequent time-loss. The scope of its ability can help both an individual and a group of children in similar circumstances.
We also fund and support local community improvements throughout the UK in towns where we have units or contracts.
