COMMUNITY
The company focuses its support on charities and projects in the local area, tackling issues affecting the communities within Soho.
As well as charitable giving, we donate space in vacant units for non-profit and community organisations and start-ups, who contribute to the energy and creative spirit of the neighbourhood, and may otherwise be unable to afford to operate in the area.
We also support special events, festivals and markets.
The charities, programmes and initiatives we support, and have supported include:
Health
Centrepoint – ‘Healthy Living Advisor’ – This programme helps homeless young people improve their mental and physical health.
Terrence Higgins Trust – ‘Soho MSM Outreach Programme’ – THT provides a comprehensive community outreach service in Soho, both physically and digitally, which supports the sexual health of residents and people who use the area’s night time economy.

Education & Young People
Duke of Edinburgh Award – ‘Building Brighter Futures in the Soho Radius’ – This programme gives young people, particularly those facing disadvantage, the opportunity to start their DofE Award in the area. This boosts vital non-academic skills such as confidence, team-working, and a sense of community.
