Lightsource Foundation news<\/h2>\n

\u00a31m fundraising target achieved<\/h4>\n

The Lightsource Foundation<\/a> has had a very successful few months, culminating in achieving our ambitious fundraising goal of \u00a31 million!<\/p>\n

This incredible achievement was reached ahead of schedule, highlighting our unwavering commitment and our exceptional team’s dedication.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, through our partnership with World Vision<\/a>, we’ve been supporting communities in Cambodia and Nepal, addressing crucial challenges like child protection, education, health, and nutrition.<\/p>\n

This achievement, like all others, has only been possible thanks to the passion and hard work of our incredible team members.<\/p>\n

Visit Lightsource Foundation raises a huge \u00a31 million<\/a> to find out more.<\/p>\n

Lightsource bp awarded prestigious Platinum Award from the Charities Trust<\/h4>\n

This award, presented by Charities Trust, was in recognition of fostering a culture of philanthropy and commitment to giving in the workplace, by promoting payroll giving to the very highest standard.<\/p>\n

The Platinum Payroll Giving Quality Mark Award was presented thanks to 20% of our UK Lightsource bp team members donating through our payroll giving scheme, which is also offered globally. At Lightsource bp we support the Lightsource Foundation, where alongside World Vision, we work towards a better future for communities across the world.<\/p>\n

This simple way of giving is great for charities as they are provided with regular income. Donations are also deducted from monthly gross pay, prior to tax deductions, meaning it costs less for our team members to give more to their chosen causes. Better yet, as a company we match the amount donated by our team members.<\/p>\n
