Centred around our four key areas of: enterprise, employability, the elderly and the arts, we continue to support charity and community groups within the Greater Manchester area. We aim to offer our support in various ways, including monetary funding and Assets Based Community Development, focusing on the strengths and assets within our community. If you are looking for support, please get in touch using the contact us form below.
2019 sees us celebrate 30 years of partnership with The Hallé Orchestra, cementing one of the most enduring business partnerships with a cultural organisation in the UK.
Brother continue to be one of The Hallé's most significant sponsors and we continually look to revitalise our relationship. We are sponsoring some of The Hallé's most important education programmes, such as The Hallé Impresarios, which works with students aged 14-16, giving them valuable insight into the world of business.
In June 2018, we took part in the Race for Life in aid of Cancer Research. This cause and charity is close to all of our hearts and we feel very proud to have raised £1527. We all worked really hard and it was an amazing experience.
We have seen the huge benefits to be gained from working to achieve an Investors in People standard, so we now act as Investors in People champions, assisting other companies on their own journeys. One activity is supporting Royal Mail with their Graduate Programme. We provide business case materials and facilitators for a two-day workshop with their graduate intake. Participants have the opportunity to learn from learning and development company, Creating People, regarding learning techniques and problem-solving mind sets.
Care for the elderly is a cause close to Brother UK and too often is underfunded and under-resourced. We’ve been supporting The Grafton Centre through funding and colleague volunteering.
"Our centre relies on the support of businesses as we have no professional support and limited staff, the help we receive from Brother UK is important now more than ever. Enabling us to continue to do what we do in our local community, we appreciate everything you do."

At our annual Christmas charity day In December 2018, we raised an amazing £5,093 in aid of Ronald McDonald House Charities. The day involved colleagues decorating their departments and taking part in festive activities. Our Market Development team contributed an amazing £2,000 by committing to run, cycle or walk 2000 kilometres in 12 days. The team smashed their target and were proud or their achievements.
