Teaming up

To celebrate Deafblind Awareness Week 2009, Penrose staff teamed up with employees from Wildnet, another Sense corporate supporter, to take part in the London to Paris cycle challenge.

Together they raised over £7,500 by completing the 300km from Bexley to the Champs Elysees.

Penrose first began supporting Sense in 2006. Penrose staff began by volunteering at a Sense day centre and this support soon progressed to the sponsorship of the Sense in the City Ice Skate.

Penrose staff participate in various Sense events, have run marathons for us and regularly conduct fundraising sweepstakes in the office. Penrose also supports Sense through the Payback scheme, by donating an agreed sum of funds for each invoice paid by their clients within 28 days.

"Penrose appreciates its ongoing relationship with Sense. Our employees genuinely enjoy and value Sense charity days, often feeling as if they have made a direct impact on deafblind people's day-to-day lives.

"Both Penrose and Sense share a focus on working in partnership with others and finding new avenues of communication, so our relationship is mutually beneficial, be it through networking or displaying corporate responsibility to our business associates and clients."
