gbp Foundation - Christmas fundraising 2025

This Christmas, the gbp foundation has been pleased to donate to charities around the country as part of our 12 days of Christmas Giving initiative. Nominated by our staff, gbp foundation is arranging donations of £300 each to the chosen charities and causes.

One of the nominated charities, Reverse Rett, was chosen as our main fundraising cause as part of our Staff Christmas event. We're pleased to say that, including a matched donation from gbp foundation, we've raised just over £1,000 for the charity.
