Haslers Foundation Celebrate a Funding Milestone

A message from Jon O’Shea, Chairman of Haslers Accountants

We are delighted to announce that the Haslers Foundation has now achieved the fantastic milestone of £250,000 donated to local causes.

Haslers Chartered Accountants has been supporting London & Essex since 1951. In 2008 we took the step of launching the Haslers Foundation – to give back. Over that time, the Foundation has built long-lasting relationships with the region’s charities. Through monetary donations, we’ve actively supported our charity partners – to relieve poverty, support health and wellbeing and to improve the lives of young people. How

Reaching this milestone is testament to the generosity of our supporters, the hard work of the Haslers team and the great working relationships we have with our charity partners – both old and new.

How do we do it?
We currently direct 1% of all profits into the Foundation annually, with additional funds raised by the incredible efforts of staff and our wider network.

Marathons, mud runs, quiz nights (you name it!), the Haslers’ team pull out all the stops to support the Haslers Foundation.

3Food4U operate a network of important community hubs – offering food supplies, essentials and a chance to socialise for many in the local area. The founder, Pesh Kapasiawala recently told us that “The Haslers Foundation have always been great supporters. Their donations have enabled us to provide nutritious fresh food for the community, which enhances both life and wellbeing”.

Long term partner, The Dream Factory offer children in need and their families incredible opportunities and special memories. It’s founder, Avril Mills told us “The Haslers Foundation are amazing!  Their efforts to help The Dream Factory are invaluable to a small charity like ours”.

Frank Charles founder of The Frank Charles Give a Gift Appeal and Feed the Streetz said “The Haslers Foundation has always been there for my charity.   From the early days of setting us up as a registered charity to their ongoing and tireless support over the years.  Their support means everything to me.”

Martin Mears of renowned local charity, Haven House Children’s Hospice said, “The Haslers Foundation are part of our DNA and without their support and others like them, we could not provide the services that we offer to children and their families”.

We’re open to applications!
As well as nurturing those important long-term relationships, we are however always on the lookout for more great causes to support. In the last few months alone, we’ve built new relationships and supported a raft of new causes. These have included a construction project with The Avenue Lawn Tennis Club in Loughton, providing specialist palliative care equipment for St Luke’s Hospice in South Essex and supporting Freedom2 – a charity focusing on the safety of women and girls in and around London.

Watch this space!
The donation milestone of £250,000 would not have been possible without the ongoing fundraising efforts of our team and we’re not letting up! Our team are now gearing up for their next batch of activities, including sky diving,  the 3 Peaks Challenge, and of course the famous annual Haslers Foundation Quiz Night on 20 March 2025. All the money raised will be donated to causes, like those mentioned, via the Haslers Foundation.

A significant achievement
On a personal note, I am immensely proud of our fundraising efforts and reaching this incredible milestone of £250,000 donated to local causes. I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks go to all our supporters and to the team at Haslers who regularly go above and beyond in fundraising.  However, this is just the beginning, and our goal is to continue to build awareness of the Foundation, the work of our charity partners and ultimately the positive impact of those most deserving in our local community!
