The philosophy of the Foundation is to support charities that help people overcome disadvantage, strengthen their abilities and live more independently, successfully and productively.

They support charities in a variety of ways, from matching employee fundraising efforts and payroll giving donations, to providing grants to charities and encouraging employee volunteering.

Through the discretionary grant scheme, they support healthcare, educational and community-based projects around the UK and in Europe.  These vary from providing mobility equipment for young children to funding a helpline for women who experience domestic abuse, from educational cookery workshops for teens with cancer to funding a build-a-book project for children and adults with disabilities.
