Opus Energy’s chosen charity 2009-2010:
During the year 2009 - 2010 Opus Energy raised over £10,000 for the Friends of Cynthia Spencer Hospice.
Employees embarked on a calendar full of office fun, personal challenges and team events to help raise money for the great work
that the hospice do. The Cynthia Spencer Hospice provides a specialist health service for people whose illness is no longer curable,
offering hospice and palliative care services for south Northamptonshire.
Opus Energy handed over their cheque for £10,000 to the Cynthia Spencer Hospice in May 2010. Some of the employees that helped to raise the money through challenges and fun activities were there to present the cheque in the outfits they wore for the events.
Opus Energy’s chosen charity 2007-09:
In
the two year’s that Opus Energy
had the NSPCC as our chosen charity we managed to raise over £21,000 to help
continue the tremendous work they do on a daily basis to protect children from cruelty. As a Northampton
based business we were keen to support the local NSPCC activities which have
such a positive impact on the community. The ‘Stopping Risk, Giving
Smiles Campaign’ was aimed at helping to put a smile back onto children’s
faces that are at risk from child cruelty.
In just over five years Opus Energy
raised over £30,000 for Care International, a humanitarian aid organisation
dedicated to helping poor and marginalised people in 70 countries find a way out of poverty.
Various teams have taken both the 3 Peaks and 24 Peaks challenges to help Care International which
has an unparalleled track record of working with communities across the world
to help them find sustainable ways of making a living. For example, they support
more than 800,000 people in 39 countries to set up small business activities
by giving small loans or running village savings projects.
