Careys Foundation
Based on the strong Carey family values which have underpinned the wider Group since 1969, the Foundation focuses on supporting those in need via three key areas: People, Charity and Volunteering.
People
Carey Group employees play a vital role in the positive work of the Foundation in giving back to the communities they work and live in by supporting local community initiatives. In return, we endeavour to support them in their various times of need.

Charity
We encourage and support all Carey Group employees to fund raise for charitable causes. Fuelled by their efforts and the support of the clients and trustees we have helped contribute over £2 million for a variety of charitable causes since establishing the Foundation in 2012.

Volunteering
We assist and provide opportunities for all Carey Group employees to apply their skills outside of the workplace. Through our volunteering scheme every employee is entitled to one paid day of leave a year to volunteer and support a charity of their choice.
