In the first half of 2026, colleagues across Langham Hall’s offices gave their time, energy and support to a wide range of charitable initiatives, from individual fundraising challenges to office events and community activities.
Below is an overview of how our teams have contributed to organisations addressing important social and environmental challenges.
We would like to thank everyone who took part, donated, volunteered or helped organise an initiative.
London
The London office started the year with a £150 donation towards Megan Eccles’ London Landmarks Half Marathon fundraiser, supporting her efforts to raise money for Mental Health UK.
In May, our Charity Committee collaborated with the Wellbeing & Social Committee to host a pub quiz fundraiser. Donations of £75, £125 and £200 were awarded to the top three teams’ chosen UK charities. A further £150 donation was made to Olivia Henry's Royal Parks Half Marathon fundraiser, supporting her efforts to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.
Lastly, Khadija Chaudhary has partnered with Salam Charity and is currently fundraising to help deliver life-changing aid to Syrian and Palestinian refugees in Lebanon. Langham Hall has donated £150 to support her journey to Lebanon to deliver hands-on support.
Looking ahead, the London office will be holding a special wellbeing initiative for National Samaritans Day. Later this year, staff will also be volunteering at a local food bank, helping to organise and pack food boxes.
Jersey
The Jersey office has continued its commitment to supporting the local community through a range of charitable initiatives, helping both its chosen charities, Jersey Hospice Care and Dementia Jersey, and several other local organisations. Colleagues have taken part in fundraising events, sporting challenges and community activities.
The year began with eight colleagues taking part in the inaugural Love Hospice 10K in February.
In March, the office proudly sponsored three colleagues who participated in the Hospice 2 Hospice Half Marathon. To support their fundraising efforts, the office hosted a raffle, raising £227 for Jersey Hospice Care. Later that month, Team Langham Crawl took part in the Swimarathon, a community event raising money for local charities. The team completed an impressive 79 laps, covering 3,950m and beating their previous record.
April was another busy month for fundraising and community engagement. The Jersey office sponsored colleague Charlotte as she took part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of Jersey Heart Support Group. A healthy bake sale was also organised, raising £170 towards her fundraising efforts. The office also sponsored the Sandpit Crawl obstacle and entered a team in the True Grit Wetwheels Challenge. The event raised funds for Wetwheels Jersey, a charity providing life-changing access to the sea for people with disabilities.
In May, team members took part in the annual James Keating Football Tournament, an event close to the hearts of many at Langham Hall. An impressive £587 was raised through office fundraising efforts, with all proceeds supporting Autism Jersey.
To round off the first half of the year, colleagues attended two events hosted by the office’s chosen charities, Dementia Jersey's Afternoon Tea and Jersey Hospice Care's Summer Huddle. The Afternoon Tea celebrated Dementia Jersey's achievements over the past year and highlighted the positive impact of its work within the local community. The Summer Huddle brought together supporters for a garden party featuring a raffle and pop-up shop, providing an opportunity to learn more about Jersey Hospice Care's ongoing initiatives.
Guernsey
The Guernsey office has taken part in several fundraising initiatives during the year. For Red Nose Day, colleagues supported Comic Relief through a team fundraising activity.
Staff also took part in the 2026 Saffery Rotary Walk, with a relay team and four individual entrants completing the challenge in support of local charities.
The office is delighted to announce Autism Guernsey as its Charity of the Year for 2026. The organisation provides invaluable support to autistic people and their families across Guernsey. Throughout the year, the team will focus on raising both funds and awareness through a series of initiatives.
Luxembourg
For International Women’s Day, the Luxembourg office made a donation to Femmes en Détresse, a non-profit organisation supporting women and children facing domestic violence and social distress. The office also hosted a Lunch & Learn panel featuring female leaders from our team, who shared insights on career growth, confidence and resilience.
Staff later organised a “Cooking for Purpose” charity lunch, inviting employees to bring a dish representing their nationality or cultural background. Colleagues joined the lunch by making a contribution, with all proceeds donated to Fondation Cancer Luxembourg. In addition to the amount raised by employees, Langham Hall made a further donation to support the foundation’s work.
The office continues to participate in The Social Goal, an initiative that brings together corporate teams across Europe and Asia to support local NGOs through sport. As part of this programme, the Langham Hall football team competes alongside other organisations in a collaborative environment that promotes teamwork and supports positive social impact.
Thank you
To everyone who took part, donated, volunteered or helped organise an initiative during the first half of the year, thank you.
We are proud of the contribution colleagues have made to the communities around them and look forward to continuing this work throughout 2026.
