All employees are able to maximise their donations to charity through payroll giving and Hampden provides matched funding for staff involved in fundraising. For many years, Hampden has been a strong supporter of the Lloyd’s Community Programme helping to build a stronger local community. Neil Smith, CEO of Hampden Agencies, is a board member of Lloyd’s Community Programme and a trustee of the Lloyd’s Charities Trust. Members of staff volunteer at English Martyrs’ Primary School in Tower Hamlets on a weekly basis, helping children with reading and numeracy skills. In addition, there are many other events for which staff volunteer in the local community such as assisting secondary school children with writing and presenting speeches for the Tower Hamlets’ annual public speaking competition; helping with interview practice and CV writing and volunteering at the youth sport foundation’s neighbourhood games. During the summer of 2014, Hampden was once again among Lloyd’s Market companies offering paid internships to pupils from schools in local boroughs as part of the City Business Traineeship Scheme. The aim of the programme, which is run by The Brokerage Citylink, is to improve access to the Lloyd’s Market and the City in general, to high achieving local pupils. Hampden’s intern worked on Client Relationship Management systems and the feedback from both the intern and line manager was very positive. Hampden supports selected charities each year through office-based fundraising activities with matched funding from Hampden. For 2013 and 2014, Blesma was actively supported by Hampden and significant sums were raised for this charity. Hampden also sponsored Blesma’s 2015 grand prize draw. For 2015 and 2016, Hampden’s nominated charities are the Multiple Sclerosis Society and Anthony Nolan. In addition, Hampden is a keen fundraiser for Macmillan Cancer Support raising large sums for this charity and making Hampden one of its most successful and valued coffee morning supporters. Hampden is delighted to announce that three Members of staff have been successful in receiving donations from the Lloyd’s Charities Trust in recognition of their fundraising and voluntary work for their chosen charities. The £2,000 awards were made to Blesma, the William Wilberforce Trust and Razed Roof for the support given by Chomps Kaeowsri, James Davis and Richard Page respectively.
