KCOM Group shortlisted for Corporate Engagement award
The Corporate Engagement Awards recognises the best in corporate partnerships and corporate social responsibility. The awards celebrate those partnerships that have benefits for both organisations involved.
We are absolutely thrilled that the amazing work KCOM Group has been doing with Sparks is being recognised by the Corporate Engagement Awards. The partnership is a great fit because we share the same dedication and commitment to pioneering innovation in our respective areas of focus. The success of this partnership is due to the hard work and commitment of everyone across KCOM Group coming up with new and exciting ways to raise money for Sparks.
Madeleine Buckley
Corporate Partnerships Manager at Sparks
We’re delighted to hear that we’ve been shortlisted for this fantastic award. Employees unanimously voted for Sparks to be our charity partner in April 2012 and ever since then they have been committed to raising funds in exciting and creative ways to raise as much money as possible to support their great cause. We saw a match in Sparks’ values and our own as we share the same dedication and commitment to pioneering innovation in our respective areas of focus. We’ve now raised a total of £217,000 for Sparks beating our original target by £100,000!

CFO at KCOM Group PLC
Just £10 per child in the UK is spent on research into child health each year, yet 1 in 30 children are born with a condition that may affect them for life. Sparks funds research to change this, which is why remarkable supporters like these are so important to us.
The annual event will be held in October at the Brewery in London where the winner of the award will be announced.
