Community involvement

We donate £5 to charity for each client feedback form returned by our clients. Each year the two charities we donate to are selected by our staff. The two charities nominated most recently by staff are:

• Food cycle—connecting communities, reducing loneliness and food poverty by working with thousands of volunteers cooking with surplus ingredients to help them, creating welcoming spaces for people from all walks of life to meet, eat and have conversations, supporting people’s health and mental wellbeing.
• Trussell Trust—provides emergency food and practical support to people in their hardest moments, working with partners and local communities to ensure everyone gets the right help long before they need a food bank. 

We also have ongoing ties with Friends of Richmond Park, a charity dedicated to the conservation and protection of Richmond Park for the benefit of the public and future generations. 

We donate to charities instead of sending Christmas Cards, and are involved in supporting a number of local community and charitable organisations through various fundraising activities. This includes Kingston Hospital Trust, London Legal Trust, Family Justice Board and South West Law Centres.

Russell-Cooke is a sponsor of the Roehampton club, a thriving sports and social club in one of our local communities and have sponsored a pro-am tournament for female golfers which has been held at the Roehampton Club for over 75 years. Our recent support has meant that the club can now attract some of the top professional lady golfers, which further enhances the tournament's reputation.

Russell-Cooke has been involved with the Rose Theatre Kingston since its inception and have supported it throughout its development. We also sponsor Friends First Night, an opportunity for the friends of the Rose to get together on the first night of each production.

Russell-Cooke is proud to support Temple Music Foundation, a charity founded in 2002 with the aim of supporting and promoting music in the Temple. The foundation offers an established and acclaimed programme of choral and chamber concerts, song recital, organ recitals, and occasional staged performances of dramatic works and operas in Middle Temple Hall and Temple Church.

We continue to support set piece events important to our local communities, such as Barnes Music Festival and Weybridge Community Regatta.
