Our clients will know that we donate 1% of our revenue to good causes nominated by themselves.
 This month we are highlighting a charity selected by one of our most valued clients, Virgin Retail, who have an independent charitable arm known as 'Virgin Unite'.
It is fully funded and supported by the group, ensuring all donations go directly to the front line and make real change happen. Unite was created by Richard Branson and Virgin employees around the world to harness Virgin's people, resources and energy to make a real difference. Through their Unite partners - amazing, grass roots charitable organisations doing innovative work in the social sector, they hope to help develop long term and sustainable approaches to forgotten and overlooked social and environmental issues.
