We’re delighted to announce that last night, for our partnership with School-Home Support (SHS), we came Highly Commended at the Business Charity Awards.
Their annual awards celebrate the incredible synergy between business and charity, showcasing the companies that are leading the charge in creating positive change.
“We’re incredibly proud of our partnership and we’re honoured to have been recognised at the Business Charity Awards, having been presented with “Highly Commended” for the “Charity Partnerships – Banks and Financial service” Award." Cathy Prior, Social Impact Manager
The teams were extremely pleased, as we were up against some excellent initiatives from Barclays, Leeds Building Society, Yorkshire Building Society and Santander.
This incredible partnership between Vanquis Banking Group and SHS was established eight years ago and has evolved to meet the needs of the families supported by the charity who work to improve low attendance in schools and maximise educational opportunities for all children.
Together we’ve ensured children can be in school and ready to learn - whatever it takes.
