We are delighted to have established relationships with companies and organisations who share our values and are generously supporting our work.
Businesses and Organisations
Our work could not continue without the incredible support we receive from Businesses and Organisations in various ways.
This year we have been generously supported with grants by:
| Berkshire Community Foundation | Edward Gosling Foundation |
| Arnold Clark Community Fund | Invesco Cares |
| Englefield Charitable Trust | ASDA Community Foundation |
| The Knoll Charitable Trust | David Knight Charitable Trust |
| Reading Christadelphians | The Fitton Trust |
| Douglas Arter Foundation | The John Sykes Foundation |
We continue to have a contract with Reading Borough Council to provide services through their Narrowing the Gap II funding.
The John Sykes Foundation: RAB was the first beneficiary of The John Sykes Foundation’s Covid-19 Support fund. Their grant of £1,000 will support our outreach work. People with sight loss have been disproportionately isolated during the pandemic, and have additional challenges in accessing reopened but altered facilities so the demands upon our outreach service continue to be very high.
Maverick Properties: We are extremely grateful to Maverick Properties who undertook the 2021 refurbishment of Walford Hall at cost price. Their workmanship and attention to detail is superb and the results exceeded our expectations.
Workday have delivered training to our service users on phishing and held fundraising events. They also supported us with the design of this website.
SecureCloud+ have provided care packages for our clients and audited and updated our IT equipment.
Open Health’s graduate training programme members selected RAB as their Corporate Social Responsibility project and have been supporting us with branding, including our new logo, as well as fundraising activities.
We have also benefited from match funding via Benevity.org from the following corporations due to volunteering by their employees:
Hewlett Packard Enterprise
We are delighted to host companies for volunteering days. In the past company teams have carried out projects like painting the hall for us.
