Corporate Social Responsibility

We are delighted to be the main Sponsor of the Fairford Steam Show on 19^th & 20^th August. The show is run by volunteers from the local community, so come along and show your support for this much-loved country show.

We are pleased to announce the latest recipient of the McGills’ Community Fund is the Pop-Up Kitchen After School Cooking Club at Fairford Primary School. The £1,000 donation will help to fund the term-time sessions and will help to pay for kitchen utensils and equipment, enabling the youngsters to enjoy the full learning experience of cooking a meal from scratch.

The team from McGills joined in the festivities when Malmesbury arranged a late night Christmas shopping evening on 2^nd December. A fantastic time was had by everyone and it was great to see so many families, along with all the other brilliant stalls.

We were delighted to take part in the Cirencester Schools’ careers evening. It was great to speak to pupils interested in pursuing a future career in accounting.

A team of five McGills’ colleagues took part in the 5k Run the Rainbow charity event held at Cotswold Airport on 24 September, raising £360 for our official charity of the year, CHYP – Cirencester Housing for Young People.

The team at McGills have provided three budding future accountants with work experience opportunities by hosting pupils from Malmesbury School, Cirencester Kingshill School and Severn Vale School, in Quedgeley, Gloucester.

We were proud to sponsor the Apprentice of the Year category in the annual Cirencester Business & Community Awards, which was won by Thomas Back of Cirencester College. Congratulations also to McGills’ own apprentice, Isobel Webb, who was a runner-up.

Colleagues from McGills recently provided students at Cirencester Kingshill School with an insight into the job application process, when they participated in a mock interviews day.  The event aims to equip the young people with interview skills that will help them get ahead in their chosen future careers.

Our Payroll Manager, Paula Schramm, stirred up a festive treat when she donated a batch of her delicious home-made Christmas puddings which were sold to colleagues in aid of our official charities. Thanks to Paula’s hard work and the generosity of our staff £75 was raised – with £35 donated to Young Minds and £40 to Evie’s Gift.
