At Access, we believe in giving back, and every year we encourage our teams globally to nominate a cause close to their hearts to become our local charity of the year. This charity receives fundraising - through our fundraising challenges and payroll giving - as well as other support from the business, a true partnership in every sense. And for every pound raised by staff, Access doubles it.

But it doesn't end there. We also love our teams to give their time and each year have an extra day's leave to give back to their local community or chosen cause.

In 2021 we set up The Access Foundation to make a real impact in our communities. Through this philanthropy, we will support causes nominated by our team and work to bridge the digital divide.
