The Texel Group

Texel Foundation was established in 2015 to extend opportunities and nurture potential. Since then, we're proud to have supported more than 100 charity partners across 24 countries. As we approach an important milestone in the Foundation's journey, we decided to create this reel, which highlights the what, why and how of Texel Foundation to date. (p.s - how great does our very own Aisha El-Telbani sound as the voiceover!) Katy Beechey, andy lennard, Ashleigh Cheall

Last week Ailsa McNeil and James Ely supported one of our Texel Foundation charity partners Spread a Smile, by taking a team to its charity golf day at Brocket Hall. 44 teams participated and an amazing £70,000 was raised! Thanks to Caroline Coulson, Kachi Nwokenna, Mat Rothwell, Gregory Collis, Chris Crane ACII and John Hony for joining us.

Today we say goodbye to Sheza Saleem, who has completed her six month Lloyd's placement with us. It has been an absolute pleasure having Sheza with us - she's a ray of positivity in the office and been a huge help on client accounts, supporting on some great new initiatives for us too. Thank you Sheza Saleem for all your hard work and we all wish you the best of luck with your new placement at Westfield Specialty (International)

For this year's Texel Foundation London Market Challenge, a number of our brokers and market colleagues are taking on a 42km marathon trek across the South Downs this Thursday (12th September). This is all in aid of an incredible charity called Centrepoint. Centrepoint is a leading charity dedicated to ending youth homelessness supporting young people aged 16-25. Its aim is to end youth homelessness by 2037, a goal requiring an estimated £47million. For £120 per year, they offer independent living opportunities to those transitioning from emergency housing to employment. Contributions also support the charity's 200 frontline staff members who operate the national helpline and conduct school outreach to prevent homelessness. You can read more about our challenge via the link below, any donations are very much appreciated. https://lnkd.in/eCJ6c6F7 William Letty, Amy Cadden, Victoria Courcier, Letitia Rhoden-Thomas, Sanal Mulackal MSc ACII, Sheza Saleem, Georgina Beazley-Barrett ACII, Benjamin McCarthy
