Marsh has a well-established Community Relations programme which is supported at the most senior level.
Through this programme we offer financial support and the time and skills of our employees to a wide variety of charities and community organisations in the cities and towns in which we operate.
Our programme comprises the following:
Charity of the Year
Every year, Marsh employees and other operating companies within MMC select a Charity of the Year and then organise a series of fundraising events in support of it. This year’s Charity of the Year is the CLIC Sargent. Previous relationships have raised over £150,000 for the Charity through the efforts of colleagues.
National Charities
Marsh’s donation programme is administered centrally. Under the theme of “People and Communities at Risk”, the Company has established a multi-year partnership with eight national UK charities who provide support and services in response to a broad range of human needs. Read more here.
Marsh MAGIC (Matching and Giving for Involvement with Charities)
Marsh matches the fundraising and volunteer efforts of employees, for the communities and charities of their choice, up to a ceiling of £300 per year.
Pennies from Heaven
Staff can donate the odd pennies from their pay slip to our Charity of the Year.
Matched Funding
Marsh adds 10% to employees’ payroll donations to charities of their choice via Give As You Earn.
Employee Volunteering
Our employee volunteering policy entitles every employee to a minimum of one day per year to take part in a programme that supports the community. Activities range from one-day ‘Team Challenges’ to one-to-one mentoring.
In addition, Marsh colleagues in our Bristol, Witham and London offices spend one lunchtime per week visiting local school children and helping them with their literacy and numeracy skills. In London, we have had a relationship with the Halley School since 1997.
