Giving Back, The Advantage Way
Whether it’s sorting pyjamas or packing memory boxes, we believe in showing up for others and giving our people the time and space to do the same.
At Advantage, we encourage all team members to support a cause close to their heart and everyone gets a Volunteering Day to make it happen. It could be a charity that’s helped your family, something local, or simply a mission you believe in. It’s your day to give back, your way. And this year, our people have made it count.
In Croydon last year, a team of Advantage volunteers spent the day with Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, a charity that donates thousands of pairs of pyjamas each year to children in hospitals, hospices, and women’s refuges. Since 2010, they’ve sent out over 100,000 pairs and they're powered by a team of just three! Founded by Charmaine Green, who was inspired by her own experience when her infant daughter was hospitalised and left with only standard hospital gowns, this charity has gone from strength to strength, helping families all over the UK.
Advantage joined them for a day of hands-on help: sorting donations, packing sacks (around 560 pairs of pyjamas), giving their labelling system a glow-up, and even helping with their socials.
That partnership didn’t stop there. A few weeks later, Children’s Hospital Pyjamas were our featured charity at the Big Celebration Lunch 2024. Guests brought donations and together, we collected 402 pairs of pyjamas and nearly £600. The charity described the event as “something we’ve never experienced in fifteen years.” Advantage are so proud to have played a part in that.
Elsewhere, more of our team spent their volunteering day with 4Louis in Sunderland, a charity supporting families through the heartbreak of baby loss. From making memory boxes to hearing powerful personal stories, it was a day no one will forget.
These moments speak to who we are. We’re bold, we care, and we take action.
Because we’re here for the journey. And that includes helping others along the way.
