PwC in the community

As a leading professional services firm and a major UK employer, we regard our participation and support of the wider communities of which we are all part as an affirmation of our core values as a business and those of our employees. We aim to be a key partner in our local communities and we seek actively to build sustainable relationships based on trust and mutual respect.

In Sheffield we have developed a proactive community affairs programme focused on the local communities. We are members of Sheffield Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Doncaster Chamber of Commerce, Business in the Community, South Yorkshire Cares, and Pro South Yorkshire, and through sponsorship support organisations such as Music in the Round, Great Sheffield Art Show and Sheffield Football Club.

As well as working in partnership with community organisations ourselves, we also encourage connectivity of thought and action between them. This close involvement enables us to demonstrate our awareness of some of society's most challenging issues and our willingness to share in the process of seeking solutions. Our commitment is demonstrated through our continued involvement in the Sheffield Common Purpose programme.

Philip Gregory, Sheffield managing partner, commented “As a responsible employer we recognise the considerable benefits from being involved in charitable fundraising. Other than the obvious benefit of raising money for worthy causes, our people, the business and the community all benefit. It is a win-win investment.”
