All-inclusive student accommodation search portal UniHomes added a splash of colour to kick start its corporate social responsibility program, after choosing to give a year of support to South Yorkshire youth homelessness charity Roundabout.
UniHomes, which is the UK’s largest all-inclusive student accommodation platform, began its 12-month program of support, at the Colour Obstacle Rush UK Sheffield event, raising more than £1,000.
Bradley Cox, UniHomes founder, who joined the team of eight around the 5k course on what turned out to be a glorious sunny day commented, “It was an amazing day of achievement. As the run started, we were £20 away from our £800 target, but as all eight of us crossed the finish line, we’d raised £1000”.
Tamaris Roberts, Head of People and Culture added “We had the most fantastic day together, a great opportunity to get together with different colleagues across the business to have some fun in the sun whilst supporting an invaluable charity. To have smashed our target was the icing on the cake”.
“This was a really colourful way to start a year of fundraising and we look forward to seeing what the UniHomes team come up with next,” said Roundabout Fundraising Manager Emily Bush.
“As a business that works with so many young people across the country, it makes perfect sense for them to be supporting Roundabout, a charity that works with vulnerable young people across our region.”
