We
are a dynamic business-led and funded charitable organisation set-up in
July 2004 by Croydon-based companies who wanted to make an impact on their
local community by forging strong links with charities and voluntary groups.
It
is a unique brokerage service designed to bridge the gap between the needs
of the community and those of the commercial sector – identifying
and facilitating activities for each company to get involved in at least
3 times a year.
Collaboration is the key to success. Croydon Commitment members have realised
that by working together as a group they have a far greater impact in
Croydon, than if they concentrate separately on individual projects.
Monthly
breakfast meetings facilitate this partnership, which has grown from 2
to 40 companies and to date our members have contributed, through volunteering
and fundraising, over £500,000 to over 50 local charities.
Our
latest Fundraiser, The Venetian Ball took place on 31st January at the
Great Hall, Addington Palace and was a huge success. Click the link at
the left for a short write-up and a selection of pictures.
We
are all very much looking forward to the Committed '08 Comedy night at
the Fairfield Halls on 6th March and to the Croydon Charity Ball at Selhurst
Park on 20th May. Please click the links at the left for more information.
