Bridgepoint aims to make a positive contribution to the communities where we operate, through the Bridgepoint Charitable Trust, our charitable giving programme.
The Trust focuses primarily on education and the environment and identifies smaller charities where our involvement and support can make a real difference. We also operate a matched giving policy and Give As You Earn Scheme at Bridgepoint, and many of our investee companies also have charitable giving programmes.
As well as financial support, we provide technical and management support through local team contribution and engagement. We have also developed a leadership outreach programme to communities beyond our main territory in Europe, and are currently supporting a three year initiative where we are sponsoring 111 'Bridgepoint Fellows' in Brazil, China and India. This scheme is enabling grassroots leaders to deliver projects in their local communities and at the same time improve their leadership skills.
