Our projects and partnerships

La Fosse has committed to donating a percentage of our annual profits to four key charities, whilst also continuing to run individual fundraising efforts across the company. These key charities are aligned with our core values and have a significant impact on both local and international causes.

MOET

MOET is a community-based, co-educational day school for over 400 orphans and vulnerable children in Malawi. Their vision is to create a brighter future for Mangochi orphans by giving them access to quality education. The team at MOET ensures that every pound raised goes directly to the school to support these students, avoiding third-party fees or fund diversion. We are proud to have worked with MOET since 2009.

Bookmark

More than 1 in 4 children in England leave primary school unable to read to the expected standard. These children often struggle for the rest of their lives, with poor literacy leading to limited job prospects, poor health, and low self-esteem. Bookmark is a literacy charity that helps children develop the reading skills they need to succeed in school and beyond.

St Andrew's Youth Club

Based a short walk from La Fosse’s London office, St Andrew’s is the oldest youth club in the world and has enriched the lives of children and young people for over 157 years. St Andrew’s provides fun and education activities to over 450 young people each year, developing their self-confidence, life skills, respect for others, and their ability to contribute to society.

Know Thyself

Know Thyself is a charitable trust working to help people overcome stress and anxiety in the workplace. This is the legacy of Tom Vaughan, a dear friend, colleague, partner, and son who inspired us all to know ourselves a little better. Tom tragically died aged 34; through the Know Thyself Charitable Trust, we will perpetuate Tom’s legacy of love, kindness, well-being, and community.

We also work with:

BEAM – BEAM is a London-based social-impact organisation, funding employment training for individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming so.

Amnesty International – We connect cyber security specialist in our talent network with this global charity to provide pro bono consultancy and support.

La Fosse Pro Bono – This ground-breaking programme sees tech professionals placed into advisory positions at charities and NFPs that need advice and support, for free.

Ecologi – We are committed to becoming a climate positive workforce, partnering with Ecologi to offset the carbon emissions of each of our employees both in and outside of our working environment.
