The gunnercooke foundation to open hub in Scotland to support local charities

May 26, 2021

gunnercooke is launching a new hub through its charity arm, the gunnercooke foundation, in a bid to offer support to Scotland-based charities.  

The firm recently opened gunnercooke SCO LLP with offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow, and now has plans to grow the foundation’s work in this region with the new inspire* hub.

The gunnercooke foundation connects businesses with charities and not for profits through several projects including inspire*. Work includes supporting CEOs of charities to enhance their effectiveness, growing charity’s networks and services through peer support hubs, mentoring, workshops and 1-2-1 sessions to grow business techniques and strategies, as well as undertaking significant projects for its charities.

The foundation recently won Project of the Year at the Business Charity Awards with its member HandsOn London for the Wrap Up London initiative.

gunnercooke Co-Founder and inspire* Hub Leader, Darryl Cooke, commented: “The gunnercooke foundation is currently helping 100 small and medium sized charities and we look forward to being able to support some of the fantastic Scotland charities following the launch of our new offices there. We welcome not-for-profit enterprises to get in touch to take advantage of our free membership, and we’d also encourage business leaders in the area to get involved with our projects.

“CSR is so much more than painting a fence or a staff away day. The gunnercooke foundation gives a range of ways for businesspeople to use their skills, experience and expertise to help the third sector develop and thrive. It’s a fantastic opportunity for leaders to make a direct difference in their local community”.
