Vanquis in the Community

At Vanquis, we like to think we are a valued part of the community.

We actively encourage our staff to join events and community projects by giving paid time off for projects, as well as financially contributing through our fund matching programme.

Vanquis employees regularly help with initiatives at Glencoe Junior School. Vanquis host Christmas parties for the Sure Start Children’s centre and our staff take part in THEBP’s reading programme to read with children in a local school.

What is Hatua?

Hatua is a charity which helps bright and talented children from the poorest slums in Nairobi get into the best secondary schools. Hatua in Swahili simply means ‘The Next Step’. It offers them the opportunity to develop their talents to eventually move out of poverty and hopefully contribute to improving the conditions of other children struggling with the future hardship.

Vanquis Employees & Hatua:

Vanquis employees get actively involved with Hatua, whether they provide skills and support remotely in the UK or go and work for a week on projects designed by the Charity. Each participant uses some of their own holiday for the trips and in some cases, use their own money to help fund accommodation and flights.

Others prefer to contribute from the UK and engage through support and fund raising activities such as compiling a wider ranging communications programme including the development of an online/printed newsletter.
