Langham Hall Charity Initiatives 2025

US

Our US team partnered with New York Cares, a leading nonprofit organisation that mobilises volunteers across New York to address community needs across the city.

During the day they packed grocery bags and pantry essentials for families facing food insecurity. Working alongside other dedicated volunteers, they sorted fresh produce, non-perishables and household staples – ensuring that every bag was nutritious and balanced, ready to support a family in need.

Beyond the hands-on work, the experience reminded the team of the power of community engagement and teamwork – both inside and outside the workplace. By the end of the day, hundreds of bags had been packed, supporting over 750 families throughout New York City.
A huge thank you to New York Cares for organising such a meaningful initiative. The team looks forward to participating in future volunteer events and continuing to support the local community together.

Guernsey

The Guernsey office selected The Pink Ladies as its Charity of the Year. The Pink ladies is Guernsey’s breast cancer charity, focused on early detection, awareness and support for those affected in the Bailiwick. Fundraising began with a bake sale and continued with participation in the Pink Ladies Sunset Walk challenge, which brought together 1,500 walkers and finished with a celebratory gathering in the Town’s Market Square.
In early June, six individual walkers and a relay team of seven took part in the Saffery Rotary Walk, a 39-mile route following the coastline of Guernsey. This initiative raised money for 25 local charities including St John Guernsey LBG, Wellbeing Animals Guernsey and the Youth Commission for Guernsey and Alderney.

Luxembourg

To mark International Women’s Day, our Luxembourg team showcased the voices and experiences of women in a special feature for our internal newsletter, while also donating to Soroptimist International of Luxembourg to support education and advocacy initiatives.

The team also proudly continued its participation in the Social Goal football tournament, finishing an impressive second place in Division II this season. A special congratulations to Wilson Martins, who earned the title of the Best Goalkeeper in Division II!

The Social Goal unites corporate teams across Europe and Asia to support local NGOs, using sport to provide children with access to structured, life changing programmes. We are proud to be part of this initiative that fosters community and creates opportunities.

Jersey

This year began with the Jersey team competing in the ‘Swimarathon’, with Team Langham Crawl securing second place in their time slot by completing an impressive 69 laps (138 lengths), surpassing their 2023 total of 67 laps.

In March, the Jersey office came together to support three colleagues preparing for the Hospice 2 Hospice Half Marathon by hosting a bake sale that raised a remarkable £476 for Jersey Hospice Care.

To wrap up Mental Health Awareness Week, the team showcased its baking skills in an office bake-off, raising funds for Dementia Jersey and Jersey Hospice – Langham Hall Jersey’s chosen charities for 2025.

During May, several of the office participated in the James Keating Football Tournament, an event close to our hearts at Langham Hall. All of the proceeds from this event went to Autism Jersey.

The team also attended an afternoon tea hosted by Dementia Jersey celebrating the charity’s 15th anniversary – an inspiring event that highlighted the real impact of the offices continued support within the community.

Finally, the team had a great day out at the It’s a Knock Out competition, a family fun event with different obstacle courses, raising money in aid of the Jersey Neonatal Unit.

London

In March, the London office donned blue in support of Prostate Cancer Awareness Day, raising £141 through staff donations. The London Charity Committee generously added £250, bringing our total contribution to £391. Just two months later, the office embraced Denim Day in support of the Alzheimer’s Society, raising £230 – matched by the Committee bringing the donation to an impressive £460. These efforts not only generated vital funds but also fostered meaningful conversations about health and wellbeing.

In April, Patrick Rourke and Amelia Saunders took on the Brighton and London Marathons, respectively, raising funds for Dementia UK and Blood Cancer UK. Langham Hall proudly contributed £250 to each of their campaigns. Congratulations to both for their incredible dedication and endurance.

Meanwhile, colleagues Sagar Rajpara and Xuyi Wu participated in Fiera’s “Walk Together, Listen Together” event in partnership with The Listening Place, supporting suicide prevention. The Charity Committee contributed £500 to this vital cause and we praise Sagar and Xuyi for their commitment and meaningful contribution to this important cause.

We also extend our congratulations to all Langham Hall staff who participated in the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, with a special mention to Sam Highmoor and Abbie Jones, our fastest male and female runners. In recognition of their achievements, the Charity Committee donated £125 to each of their chosen charities. We thank all participants for their dedication and commitment, showing the drive we value at Langham Hall.

Beyond events, the London office has partnered with Euston Foodbank to support the local community, donating an impressive 21.7 kg of supplies in Q1 alone. The team are proud to support this vital service and look forward to continuing collection efforts throughout the year.

Looking ahead

Across our offices, these initiatives reflect the values we share at Langham Hall: collaboration, commitment and care for the communities around us. We are proud of our teams’ contributions and look forward to building on this work in the months ahead.
