Charitable foundation
Mark Allen Foundation partners with YoungMinds and Stop The Traffik to support their amazing work improving quality of life for young people in the UK and internationally.
The Foundation is run by a dedicated committee of staff, who selected these two charities to fulfil a remit from colleagues across the company to focus support on the care and development of children, and people suffering with mental health issues. The direct and measurable impact we could make was also taken into consideration.
YoungMinds is a leading UK-based charity campaigning for children and young people’s mental health. Turning real-life experiences into positive change, it is leading the fight for a future where all young minds are supported through life, whatever the challenges.
Founded in 2005, Stop The Traffik offers a unique, intelligence-led approach developed to systemically disrupt human trafficking. This is done through changing the environment in which traffickers operate, making it higher risk and lower profit to criminal networks.
We aim to raise significant funds for these two charities through our portfolio of client events and our own fundraising efforts. We know the positive difference our staff can make. That’s why we created a framework for our people to volunteer a small amount of their time to contribute their skills and make a meaningful difference to the lives of others.
