We believe in sharing our success and appreciation with the community and our clients. Our vision of “Financial Leadership Through Professional Excellence” goes hand in hand with our corporate social responsibility offerings.
We have made donations to the following charitable organisations on behalf of our clients, as we continue to work with and support those in need.
2013:
Santa Shoebox Project
This festive season we again took part in the Santa Shoebox Project, giving back to children who have so little over Christmas.
“The Santa Shoebox Project is an inspiring community initiative of the Kidz2Kidz Trust (IT2671/2009, PBO930031301, Section 18A, NPO 102-098, B-BBEE Level Four Contributor) that co-ordinates the donation, collection and distribution of personalized gifts at Christmas time to underprivileged children across South Africa and Namibia.
Participating is a profoundly valuable and personal experience with each donor selecting the child he or she chooses to pledge a Santa Shoebox for by name, gender and age.”

Eid
We supported The Mustadafin Foundation again this year as part of our giving back to our community, as our Muslim staff, clients and colleagues celebrate Eid.
– The Mustadafin Foundation
The Mustadafin Foundation was established in 1986 during the Apartheid era. It emerged as a result of political unrest and violence in the Crossroads township. Crossroads, at that time was isolated and violence that erupted was due to faction fighting. It had a devastating effect on the local community, particularly women and children.

Chaeli Campaign
We are so proud to have been a supporter of the Chaeili Campaign for this year’s Argus and Warren Berry and his team for championing such a worthy cause. They began their journey on Friday from Hermanus and completed their three day ride with the Argus and a total of 315 kms to raise funds for the Campaign.
The Chaeli Campaign was founded by Chaeli Mycroft, her sister, Erin and family friends, Tarryn, Justine and Chelsea Terry because of Chaeli’s need for a motorised wheelchair. After raising R20 000 in just 7 weeks it was decided to formalise The Chaeli Campaign as a non-profit organisation and continue to help other children with disabilities. Eight years later this organisation runs 8 programmes throughout SA in support of children with disabilities and is actively involved in mobilising the minds and bodies of children. A dynamic advocacy focus celebrates the abilities of people with physical and intellectual impairments and advocates for their full inclusion in society.
The Chaeli Campaign does not merely give wheelchairs, it aids improved independence; it doesn’t just provide hearing aids – it opens up a hearing world; it doesn’t simply supply laptop computers – it creates a canvas on which children can express their thoughts and feelings. Its goal is to breathe hope into the lives of children with disabilities and their families as they find ways of improving their independence, socialisation, education and integration into their communities.
