Areas of focus

• We will build on our current STEM programme, broadening our approach and scope
• We will build a hybrid charity programme combining a charity partner with local charity support 
• We will work on initiatives to improve the environment around us within our community

Since 2022, Xaar has worked with our charity partner Break. Our employees have fundraised an amazing over £50,000 for the charity to date, which alongside a matched donation from the company, brings the total donated to over £100,000.

Break makes life better for children and young people on the edge of care, in care and leaving care. Its vision is ‘A world where all young people, whatever their start in life, have the opportunities and relationships they need to thrive’. Xaar employees have participated in dozens of events and activities to raise funds. Amongst the most notable have been the London Marathon and Cambridge Half Marathon, the Three Peaks Challenge, and a skydive. Alongside raising money, employees also volunteered for Break by helping out at one of its care homes – painting fences, gardening, and generally sprucing up the environment to make it more attractive to the children and young adults who use it.

It doesn’t end here. The relationship has been extended for one more year, in advance of our new hybrid charity process. So, there is still much more fundraising we can do for Break.

''The money that you raise makes a massive difference to the life of a young person who’s leaving care. We’d like to thank everyone at Xaar for their time, generosity and support.''
