Reward Funding has raised £40,000 for Women’s Aid following a year of fundraising across its five regional UK offices.
The specialist finance lender selected Women’s Aid as its charity partner for 2026, with staff, introducers, clients, friends and family taking part in fundraising activities throughout the year.
These included quizzes, golf and padel tournaments, a World Cup competition, step challenges and bake sales.
The money will support Women’s Aid and its network of almost 300 services across England working with women and children affected by domestic abuse.
£238,000 RAISED SINCE 2018
The fundraising forms part of Reward Funding’s wider Giving Back programme, which encourages teams across its five UK offices to raise money and volunteer for charities and community causes.
Since 2018, the business has raised more than £238,000 for charity partners and community causes.
Giullia Gomes, senior partnerships officer at Women’s Aid, says: “Those we support face unimaginable challenges, and the bravery survivors show from the moment we begin working with them is truly inspiring.
“We are working to end domestic abuse through dedicated support services, campaigning, influencing and training. We keep survivors at the heart of everything we do and want to ensure we provide a platform for their voices to be heard.
“The funds raised are essential for us to continue our work and a donation of this scale will make a huge difference. We want to say a massive thank you to the entire Reward Team and all those who took part in the events and donated.”
‘INCREDIBLY PROUD’
Nick Smith, CEO at Reward Funding, adds: “Women’s Aid was a very clear choice for our chosen charity this year.
“The lifesaving work they do to support women and children in indescribably difficult situations is second to none. We are honoured to be able to support such a vital cause and are grateful to everyone who has taken the time to join our events and donate.
“I’ve been incredibly proud to see colleagues across Reward, alongside our partners, brokers and clients throw themselves into fundraising throughout the year. The cheque presentation was a very meaningful moment for all of us and a true reflection of the dedication that went into every single fundraising event we hosted.”
