WCIT CHARITY REVIEW
FUNDRAISING
05
Another fantastic year of fundraising from
the very generous membership
Total amount raised in 2017
£151,321
As well as this financial generosity, our
members provided thousands of hours of
pro bono time. The Board of the Charity and
the Court wishes to warmly thank each
and every one of you who has contributed
these funds and/or pro bono time to all the
wonderful projects that we support.
Charitable giving is at the heart of our Livery
activity and we would love every Company
member to be a donor to our Charity.
The Entrepreneurs Panel raised an
astonishing £25,000 at the annual
Enterprise Awards, and the Events Panel
delivered a superb contribution of £4,500.
Panels and Committees making a surplus
kindly contributed other large sums this year,
including a generous donation of £3,214 from
the Security Panel and £1,020 from the
annual WCIT Golf Day, plus many others.

Collectively,
we can do more
than we can as
individuals, and,
as we grow, we
will be able to
support larger
projects
Another fantastic year of fundraising from
the very generous membership enabled CCG
(our Continuous Charitable Giving scheme)
to increase to over £94,000 – an amazing
achievement.
CCG is a great way to support us. It gives us
much greater foresight and confidence in our
income, which allows us to manage our
commitments and grants effectively.
