Community
Beyond
the office.
For me, it's simple: the communities and people who helped shape our success deserve something in return. It's a belief that drives personal involvement and runs through the whole team at OO Group, with our support spanning grassroots sport to national charities.
Causes that matter
Charity & fundraising
HOMELESSNESS
Shelter / CEO Sleepout
The UK's housing and homelessness crisis is close to our hearts, which is why OO Group proudly partners with Shelter, the country's leading charity in this space. I've also supported the cause personally by taking part in CEO Sleepout, spending the night sleeping rough alongside other business leaders to raise awareness and funds for people experiencing homelessness.
FUNDRAISING
Cancer Research UK
I ran the London Marathon raising funds for Cancer Research UK.
CHILDREN'S CHARITY
Evelina Children's Heart Organisation (ECHO)
ECHO is close to our hearts as a business and family, and where we've chosen to focus our long-term support. This includes my son, who has raised nearly £200 so far selling loom bands to support the cause.
Grassroots & community sport
Sponsorship
Sport and business share a huge crossover in teamwork, resilience and attitude, which is why I'm proud to support grassroots and community sport.
FOOTBALL SPONSORSHIP
Petts Wood & Holmesdale FC
OO Group sponsors this local football club, formed through the merger of two clubs – one a semi-pro men's team, the other a youth club. Together they now offer both men's and youth football, with youngsters feeding through into the men's team. The youth side alone has grown to over 70 teams.
BOXING SPONSORSHIP
Elliot Whale
Backing local talent, OO Group supports Elliot as he builds his professional boxing career while balancing life as a family man. He has fought on the Tyson Fury undercard at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where he extended his unbeaten record.
