Community Support

Timeline

April 2020

The Tru Talent team kicked off their charitable journey by taking on the nationwide 2.6 Challenge, raising enough money to sponsor a child’s education in The Gambia. A small act with a life‑changing impact.

March 2021

Next came 100 Miles in March for WWF. The team laced up, powered through the miles, and raised £257 to support global wildlife conservation.

July 2021

Toni and Aimee pushed themselves to the limit in the Dusk Till Dawn Walk with AIM Community — trekking 28km through the New Forest overnight and raising a combined £317 for an incredible cause.

September 2021

Tru Talent proudly partnered with AFC Bournemouth’s Community Sports Trust, supporting their mental health and wellbeing programme delivered across Dorset schools. This meaningful partnership was renewed for the following two years.

February 2022

Tru Talent became proud sponsors of Team Gleed Jones, a passionate and competitive volleyball team, supporting their growth and sporting journey for a full year.

November 2022

Another year, another partnership. This time sponsoring St James Racing, championing local talent and ambition.

June 2023

Tru Talent hosted its first-ever Charity Pub Quiz, raising an amazing £700 for Lewis-Manning Hospice. A night of fun, competition, and generosity.

May 2024

Aimee stepped up to the challenge — literally — by completing the Fire Walk for Lewis-Manning, raising £285 with nerves of steel.

June 2024

Our second Charity Pub Quiz lit up the room once again, this time raising £532 for Helpful Hounds, supporting assistance dogs and the people who rely on them.

June 2025

The tradition continued with our third Charity Pub Quiz, raising an impressive £724 for Macmillan Local — proving that community, compassion, and a bit of friendly competition go a long way for a fantastic cause.

Fundraising

Fundraising has been a cornerstone of our commitment to making a positive impact in our community.

Over the years, we have recognised the profound difference that financial support and effort can make towards charities, whether it’s our annual Lewis Manning Pub Quiz, the UK Fire Walk, the WWF Lockdown fundraiser or our sponsored Dusk till Dawn walk, we love to take part and do our bit!

These efforts allow us to actively contribute to causes we deeply care about, fostering a sense of unity and purpose within our own workplace and beyond.

Partnerships

At Tru Talent, we take pride in our longstanding partnerships with local organisations such as St James Racing, Gleed Jones Volleyball Team and the fantastic AFCB Community Sports Trust.

Our commitment to nurturing and teamwork extends beyond the workplace, as we continue to build meaningful relationships and contribute positively to the achievements of these outstanding organisations.

Food Bank Donations

As part of our support for our local community, we gather and distribute essential food items to families in need via the local food banks, helping to alleviate hunger and provide nourishment to those who might otherwise go without.

We believe that by coming together to contribute to these efforts, we can make a meaningful impact and foster a sense of solidarity and care within our communities. We are proud to play a part in ensuring that everyone has access to the food they need, and we encourage others to join us in this ongoing initiative.
