Our giving back culture
At Apps Cyclone, charity is at the core of our values and we offer a variety of initiatives that allow our team to give something back and make a difference. Each year, our employee community nominates a cause close to their hearts to become our local charity of the year. These charities receive fundraisingin addition to other support from the business. For example, with every pound raised by our staff, Apps Cyclone doubles it. A true partnership in every sense.
Our people are also able to dedicate their time to give back to their local community or chosen cause with an extra day's leave to make this possible. The Apps Cyclone Foundation makes a real impact in our communities. Through this philanthropy, we support causes nominated by our team and work to bridge the digital divide.
Charity of the year
We’re passionate about giving back to our communities and each year we ask our colleagues from across the globe to nominate a cause they wish to support. We compile regional shortlists from the nominations submitted and ask everyone to vote for one charity from that final list for each region.
Throughout the company, we all get involved to raise money which is then matched by Apps Cyclone. Our people are also able to dedicate their time to give back to their local community or chosen cause, and Apps Cyclone gives everyone extra leave to make this possible.
The Apps Cyclone Foundation
The Apps Cyclone Foundation was set up in 2021 following the success and growth enjoyed by The Apps Cyclone Group over the previous decade.
While affiliated with the company in terms of its identity, The Apps Cyclone Foundation is a separate organisation, governed by an independent board of trustees and with its own objectives and goals.
The foundation is focused on making a real difference to people’s lives by awarding grants to charities that make a valuable and measurable positive impact.
Tech for good
With a team as passionate about giving back as we are, it makes sense that we develop our own Apps Cyclone technology to help us raise much-needed funds - and have some fun along the way.
Some recent examples are the development of apps within Apps Cyclone Workspace to allow staff to take part in a staff lottery and salary sacrifice through our 'round to the pound' and 'give as you earn' apps.
We even got competitive with a staff-wide pedometer challenge logged through Apps Cyclone Workspace.
