The SCL Help Fund is a charity funded solely by our firm.
It is designed to help those in need, regardless of race, religion, gender or species (animals included).
We have had the privilege of donating many thousands of dollars to a wide range of amazing charities that are making a real difference to the lives of those in need.
Our Help Fund has also allowed us to wholly fund the building and ongoing costs of a school in an impoverished region of Bangladesh – giving children access to education they would otherwise be unlikely to obtain.
Our commitment to social responsibility also sees our team participating in a raise of fundraising events.
