ATA Recruitment

​Reflecting on our charity work in 2025 and looking ahead to 2026

​

At ATA Recruitment, supporting charities and local communities is something we care deeply about. Each year, our charity work is shaped by the people in our business and the causes that matter most to them. Our aim is simple. To give back in meaningful ways and support those who need it.

As we look back on 2025, we are proud of the time and effort our team has put into fundraising, volunteering and raising awareness. As we move into 2026, that commitment continues with more challenges and activities already planned.

​

Supporting important causes in 2025

Throughout 2025, our team supported several charities through a mix of fundraising and hands on volunteering.

We continued our support for Rainbows Hospice for Children and Young People by placing donation bins in our offices and holding monthly collections. This gave everyone the chance to contribute regularly to a cause that is important to many across ATA.

​

In June, a team from ATA Recruitment including Chris Addison, Fred O’Reilly, Lewis Gardner, Suzanne Winton and Lauren Woolley took on the Wolf Run to raise money for Sands, the stillbirth and neonatal death charity. Sands provides vital support to families affected by baby loss, and the team’s effort helped raise funds and awareness for this important cause.

​

Later in the year, we held a charity gig and raffle night at Kibworth Cricket Club. The night was organised by Steve Harrhy and featured live music from The Pneumonics, the band of Associate Director Stewart Jackson, alongside The Uprising Seals, the band of Steve Harrhy’s sons. It was a great evening that brought people together and raised £1,265 for Sands.

​

​

We also supported several other causes throughout the year. This included a charity sweepstake, Bilal Osman’s visit to Calais to support refugees, and a volunteering project led by Faisal Ahmedy with the non-profit organisation Live Cancer Free. Faisal spent time learning how to interview cancer patients, helping to record and preserve their stories to support awareness and mental wellbeing. This project will continue into 2026.

Across these activities, £2,095 was raised for Sands in 2025, alongside our ongoing support for Rainbows and other charities.

​

Looking ahead to 2026

Our charity work will continue into 2026, with several team members already committed to new challenges.

• Stewart Jackson will be running the London Marathon

• Steve Harrhy is taking on a personal challenge every month

• Adam Waite, Steve Harrhy and Stewart Jackson will be completing a Spartan challenge

• Ashton Kenney will be climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in support of Sands

• And more fundraising activities are already being planned

These challenges reflect the commitment and passion of our team. Each one is taken on for a reason and in support of causes that mean a great deal to the people involved.

​

Continuing our commitment

What makes our charity work special is that it is led by our people. Every fundraiser, challenge or volunteering activity starts with someone at ATA wanting to make a difference. We are proud to support these efforts and to keep charity work at the heart of our culture.

As we move into 2026, we look forward to continuing this journey, supporting important causes and making a positive impact beyond recruitment.

Thank you to everyone who has taken part, donated or supported our charity work so far. We are excited to see what we can achieve together this year.
