Proud to support Aspire Oxfordshire

Allen Associates, News & Blog

We are delighted to announce Aspire Oxfordshire as Allen Associates’ main beneficiary for 2023-25, as voted for by our team.

Aspire inspired us with their impact stories and the tangible difference they make to the lives of over 2,000 of the most disadvantaged people in Oxfordshire every year.

Our founder Kate Allen explained: “Having supported Aspire in various small ways over the years, we were aware of the amazing job that they do in helping people to overcome adversity and build sustainable futures for themselves and their families. So when it came to choosing our charity for the next two years, we were over the moon when our team voted for Aspire.

“Oxfordshire has served our business for more than 25 years and giving back to our local communities has always been a fundamental part of who we are and what we believe is important.

“We are proud to support Aspire and it is gratifying to know that our annual donation is match-funded, which means even more people will benefit.”

Paul Roberts, CEO at Aspire, said: “Thank you to Allen Associates for choosing Aspire as their charity and for their donation which will go directly towards our work with people experiencing homelessness and disadvantage in Oxfordshire.

“With the ever increasing cost of living, low unemployment rates and shortage of affordable housing, more people than ever have found themselves in desperate situations. It is only through the ongoing support of individuals and businesses such as Allen Associates, that we are able to provide the tailored support they need to rebuild their lives.”

Aspire has launched its Empty to Plenty appeal to help it “sustain and scale up an ambitious programme of activities across Oxfordshire in the coming months, in response to the challenges and desperate circumstances many people in our communities are experiencing today.” All donations up to £100,000 are match-funded by a local donor, enabling the charity to tackle homelessness and get people back into employment that much quicker.
