Celebrating the Broadgate Community Fund

From 2023 – 2024, the BGCF have donated over £93,000 to local organisations making a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable groups within the Westminster community. This is as a result of the generous contributions of our Broadgate campus customers and partners of including, Western Asset Management, Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, Herbert Smith Freehills, Peel Hunt, Sir Robert McAlpine, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and Coyle.

By collaborating these organisations have been able to financially contribute to local charities addressing a wide range of diverse issues such as the mental and physical wellbeing of children, education, social mobility, social inclusion, improving employment rates and so much more. Together we decide which local organisations to support both financially and with employee volunteering.

My Big Career works with schools in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities supporting each young person’s individual needs.

Thanks to the funds awarded from the BGCF, MyBigCareer launched its programme in five additional schools, supporting a total of 18 schools local to Broadgate. They continued to provide education, guidance, and employability support to over 1,200 students facing economic and social disadvantage. Click here to learn about MyBigCareer.
