Industrial inkjet technology provider, Xaar, has celebrated its two-year partnership with young people’s charity Break, having donated a total of £71,544 over that period.
Xaar’s employees have raised £35,772 to date, which was doubled by the company to reach the £71,544 figure. This money, said Xaar, is to help care experienced young people across the East of England.
Break’s Building Futures programme initiative is crucial, as 40% of young adults leaving care in the UK face the risk of homelessness, explained the company. This initiative aims to address this by building young people’s skills in construction and DIY, helping young care leavers learn to furnish and look after their homes.
Rachel Cowdry, CEO at Break, commented, ‘The incredible generosity and commitment of Xaar and their staff are making such a big difference in the lives of the young people we support. It will help us to continue giving care experience young people the love, support and ambition they deserve.’
Commenting on the relationship with Break, Xaar’s CEO John Mills said, ‘Over the past two years our Charity Champions and the wider team at Xaar have excelled themselves in helping support disadvantaged young children by raising such a fantastic amount for Break. We are delighted to continue working alongside this worthy charity as part of our Sustainability Roadmap and look forward to the wide range of activities taking place over the next 12 months.’
