Making a difference in our community is part of Totemic’s very essence; it’s something we have been passionate about from the very beginning. Our Totem Giving fund supports both personal endeavours and charitable causes on an international stage.
To date we have donated over £1m to charitable causes and the beneficiaries are far reaching and diverse: we have raised funds to support international disaster appeals to volunteers generously giving their time on a cold winter’s day to plant new trees in a local park.
Our people have the flexibility to devote two fully paid days each year to a charitable cause that is close to their heart. If you add that up that’s over 1,600 days donated to fund-raising activities alone. And on a smaller, but no less important scale, we encourage teams to host events such as bake-offs, cake sales and raffles.
Some of our more local projects which we support and actively encourage our colleagues to participate in are:
UK Projects
Inspire +
We are keen supporters of Inspire+, recognising the hugely valuable work they do within our community to improve the lives of young people through sport.
Chernobyl Children’s Lifeline
Annually we support the ongoing respite care for the children affected by the Chernobyl disaster through educational visits to our offices.
Portugal Projects
Re-food project
Our employees are able to volunteer with the charity and help distribute food to the most vulnerable in their communities.
Grace Association
We support Portuguese communities through regular volunteering, training and awareness programmes.
Comunidade Vida e Paz
Every Christmas our Lisbon office makes a donation to fund a big Christmas lunch for the homeless in the city.
