Conway Charitable Foundation

The Conway Charitable Foundation was created in 2013 and offers financial support to local charities and organisations that are most in need.

Our employees are also offered support in their charitable activities through a minimum donation of £250. This is for any member of our team undertaking a charity activity. We also encourage them to develop their own fundraising activities, providing support wherever possible.

Who we’ve helped

Goal 17 FM Conway is one of the founding members of local social enterprise Goal 17, using business mentoring and the power of football to help end youth homelessness.

The organisation involved bringing together two groups of people from very different backgrounds to help break down boundaries and unite them over a day of learning for both FM Conway staff and young people.

As well as completing a range of engaging activities on the day, the participants were then invited to continue their relationship through a structured weekly telephone mentoring program. During this time the young people received a weekly football coaching session followed by an afternoon of classroom-based careers, skills and training development.

At the end of the 10-week program the young people were invited to the FM Conway head office in Sevenoaks, Kent to get a feel for the working environment, but also to celebrate what they and their mentors learned through the 10-week process. Samaritans We are proud to support the Samaritans and their necessary impact on society. Samaritans is a unique charity dedicated to reducing feelings of isolation and disconnection that can lead to suicide. The Royal British Legion We proudly support the Royal British Legion Industries. The Conway Charitable Foundation is in a five-year commitment to support the excellent work of the charity, which will amount to £250,000 over five years. We are also a founding Key Partner of Veteran Owned. The Medway Street Pastors The Medway Street Pastors is a charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable people through first aid, offering a sympathetic ear and even assisting people in getting home safely, as well as providing food and drink to the homeless people in the area. The charity operates primarily through volunteers who patrol areas of Rochester on a Saturday night and Sunday morning helping people in need, and FM Conway offer assistance in whatever way we can. The Honeypot Children’s Charity £17,600 was raised for Honeypot Children’s Charity after our staff completed the Three Peaks Challenge.

Honeypot provides respite breaks and outreach support to young carers and vulnerable children from the age of five up to 12-years-old.

With the £5,000 raised from the Three Peaks Challenge, together with an additional £12,600 through our Conway Roadshow Event, our donation will provide children with yearly respite breaks and support throughout their childhood, as well as fund respite weekends. Sutton United FM Conway sponsored Sutton United Under 10s, following a request from an employee, with £500 to provide all 10 children with a full training kit, a winter jacket and a training fleece. The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity We donated £10,150 to The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity.

The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity raises money solely to support The Royal Marsden, a world-leading cancer centre. Our donation will help Royal Marsden to provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments. Lighthouse £64,953 donated to the Lighthouse Club to support injured construction workers and their families.

Now in its third year, we continue our pledge to donate £1 for every near miss reported by our employees to the Lighthouse Club Charity. The money raised will help to support construction workers who need support with living costs or to retrain following an injury at work. By encouraging our staff to report near misses, we donate to this worthy cause whilst reducing the risk of accidents on site. The SUDC Foundation We donated £14,000 to SUDC UK.

Sudden Unexpected Death in Children (SUDC) UK is a charity co-founded by three bereaved mothers who have all lost a child suddenly. The charity focuses on the ‘why’ to better understand the cause(s) and help prevent the sudden unexplained death of children in the future. SUDC UK is dedicated to increasing awareness in the UK and funding crucial research. As a new charity set up in 2017, our donation will help support them to grow and raise awareness of their special cause.
