Who We Support
There are so many great organisations in our community that help people in need, and we believe it's important to support as many as we possibly can!

Our local foodbank aims to provide nutritionally balanced meals to people and families in crisis. The urgent need for help is rising with an 89% increase in food boxes handed out since last year. We've created a dedicated program called Paramount Pantry that encourages and helps our network to donate whatever they can - find out more [here]. Our office also acts as a year-round donation collection point, and we regularly run community food drives to try to help the food bank meet a growing need for support.

Agents Giving is our industry charity that works with agents across the UK to encourage and support fundraising activities. Supporting them allows us to support a variety of great causes at once. With our Managing Director of Lettings, Spencer Lawrence, on this charity's Board of Directors, it's close to our hearts because we get to see the positive impact it has in our communities first hand.
We get very involved in multiple fundraising events throughout the year, like the annual Agents Giving Day nation-wide food drive to support local food banks. Every year our team also joins the Love Mud Challenge, where we run, climb, and crawl through kilometres of mud to raise money!

Based in North Camden, this charity works with children, youth and families to help each child succeed regardless of their circumstances. The people they help often face huge challenges, and the work they do has an amazing impact in the lives of the people they support. Last year, our team donated a kitchen renovation to their facility (which is a lively building with an unexpected story!) to create new, inviting space for one-on-one work and group programs.

This charity collects coats across London every year to distribute to local charities and community groups who directly offer support to people who are homeless, refugees, older people, people fleeing domestic violence, and those at risk through living in poverty. Every year as autumn approaches we aim to spread the word throughout our network and collect as many coats as we can in our office to donate to this really important cause.

Centrepoint is a youth homelessness charity that provides housing and support to young people in cities across the UK, including London. They focus on providing a safe place to stay and the building blocks for an independent life. In November 2019, Spencer and Dexter joined over 100 agents and industry suppliers for Centrepoint's Big Sleepout. They braved the wind and cold to experience sleeping rough for a night, fundraising for the critical work that this charity does for our city's youth.
