ReachOut! Starts Exciting Charity of the Year Partnership with ACCA

ReachOut! has been chosen as the charity of the year for The ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants). Over the next 12 months, ACCA employees will hold fundraising events and volunteer on workshops and projects, including RO! Academy, RO! Junior Mentors and RO! Summer Programme. ACCA is the global body for professional accountants, offering qualifications to ambitious people seeking a career in accounting, finance and management.

Today, ReachOut! headed across London for a launch party to begin this exciting new partnership. Over tea and cakes, ACCA employees found out how they could get involved in ReachOut! and shared ideas for great fundraising and volunteering opportunities over the next year. Hannah thanked ACCA for nominating ReachOut! as charity of the year, "This is an excellent opportunity for us to team up with such a well-known organisation. The team have been impressively proactive - there are already some great fundraising events lined up." 

There was a lot of enthusiasm about the partnership, with people expressing interest in contributing in all sorts of ways, from running the British 10k to mentoring at the academy. In fact, the ACCA Give Something Back Committee were already raising money by selling cupcakes at the party.

The partnership is a fantastic opportunity for ReachOut! to pair up with an enthusiastic and dynamic team.  Hopefully, the next year will see ACCA employees raising money, increasing awareness of ReachOut! and getting stuck into some memorable volunteering experiences. Thank you so much to the Give Something Back Committee for holding such a brilliant event - we look forward to working with you!
