Working with local charities and giving back to the people who live in our community is something Porter Dodson are proud to support. Every year, each of our offices chooses a charity that has local relevance to it and will focus on delivering value to that charity in the year ahead.
We raise money for our nominated charities through a variety of events and activities held throughout the year.
This year our nominated charities are:
Bridport
Harmony Mental Health Support
Harmony Mental Health Support is a local peer-led charity that strives to improve the lives of everyone affected by mental illness in West Dorset. They believe everyone has the right to enjoy all that life can provide and promote the principle that hope, mental health and wellbeing are essential to all.
Poundbury
Dorset County Hospital Charity
Dorset County Hospital Charity exists to enhance care for patients at Dorset County Hospital. The hospital is committed to providing the best possible facilities and environment for our patients, visitors and staff, supporting services and projects which cannot be funded by the NHS budget alone. They use money donated to the Charity to invest in new facilities, state-of-the-art medical equipment and enhanced training to diagnose and treat patients.
Sherborne
The Rendevous
The Rendevous supports young people in Dorset and South Somerset. Trained youth workers offer a friendly listening ear, help and advice on health, housing, money and more, helping young people gain the qualifications they need to find jobs, join an apprenticeship scheme or go to college.
Taunton, Wellington and Exeter
The Grand Appeal - Bristol Children's Hospital Charity
The Grand Appeal is the official Bristol Children’s Hospital Charity, who are committed to saving the lives of sick children and supporting their families. From helping staff, patients or their families, they put Bristol Children’s Hospital at the heart of everything they do. They support the hospital through family accommodation, medical research, equipment, music, play and art therapy.
Yeovil
Yeovil Hospital Breast Cancer Appeal and Secret Somerset Wildlife Rescue
As one of our larger offices, Yeovil runs a tuck shop as well as regular dress down days, enabling them to raise larger sums throughout the year, so they have decided to split their proceeds between two very worthy charities.
