Charity support is a key part of our corporate responsibility programme and we are currently reviewing all activity in this area.

One of the Orange Foundation's aims is to help those with sensory impairment, and the charities we have supported in the past have reflected this theme.

Our employees have an impressive track record of supporting Orange charity partners. They raised £400,000 for NCH – Action for Children between 2001 and April 2003, and £160,000 for the Royal National Institute of Blind People and the British Deaf Association between May 2003 and November 2004.

Our most recent partnership with the national deaf-blind charity Sense, came to an end in March 2008. Over the 2 ½ years of the relationship, our staff raised an amazing £470,000 for the charity through a variety of events. From cycling from London to Paris, to skydiving to running the London Marathon, the list is endless.

The money raised has supported outreach workers across the UK who meet with deafblind children and adults and breakdown the isolation ensuring their lives are enriched with opportunities and choices.

case study

In February 2008, 48 intrepid employees held their nerve as they took to the skies and jumped out of a plane to raise money for Sense.

The brave individuals all plunged 10,000 feet as they took part in tandem skydives at various locations throughout the UK in February. Over £12,000 was raised for Sense and not surprisingly these adrenaline junkies enjoyed the whole experience.
