Since 2014, Burgoynes has supported a nominated charity. Nominations and votes for charities are open to all members of personnel, with the only criteria being that the charity should be smaller in size and ‘non-mainstream’. The selected charity is supported for a period of two years.
Burgoynes also maintains a matched-sponsorship fund, which is available to members of personnel who are undertaking sponsored events in their own time. By operating such a scheme, Burgoynes had supported many other charities through the endeavours of our staff who have walked, run, cycled and swam in various events. These events are reported on our news pages.
Burgoynes are incredibly proud to support the RNLI as our chosen charity for the next two years.
The RNLI’s volunteer lifeboat crews are on call 24/7, ready to save lives at sea across the UK and Ireland, while their dedicated lifeguards help keep our beaches safe during the busiest months.
Since 1824, they’ve rescued over 146,000 people – and they don’t stop there.
Beyond their life-saving missions, the RNLI is passionate about prevention. Their Community Safety teams educate and equip people with the knowledge to stay safe on the water, and their international teams work tirelessly to combat drowning in high-risk communities around the world
For more information about the charity, please visit RNLI website.
