Charities we support
Our pro bono work
We commit our time and expertise to support a charity each month.
Giving them access to our advice, training, and tools to help
scale and have a greater impact
We also donate a percentage of our profit to charity
Free To Be Kids
We helped the leaders of Free To Be Kids develop the skills and processes that will help them win more funding bids, as well as manage growth and scaling their team.
We are also planning and running the first Free To Be Kids fundraising event. The goal of this event is to raise funding and awareness, enabling the charity to work with more children in need of the support Free to Be Kids provides.
I Can You Can Too
We worked with the young people on the I Can You Can Too programme to help them challenge their limiting beliefs, develop their growth mindset and improve their mental resilience. We support the belief that young people should not be held back by their social status.
This helped prepare them for leaving school and widening their horizons and belief in themselves to follow their dreams.
You Make It
We are one of the chosen partners of You Make It, a charity that works to empower disadvantaged women living in London who are looking for full-time employment. We are helping to achieve gender equity.
Our part of the programme helps the young women develop practical strategies to improve their own emotional resilience and self-confidence, crucial for success and wellbeing.
Suvita
We worked with founders of vaccination charity Suvita to improve the delivery of their message and value proposition in pitches, fundraising bids, and proposals. We worked with them to make their messaging clear and their delivery more compelling.
This has allowed Suvita to tailor and hone how they present their material and become more confident in their delivery.

We really care about our impact on the planet
The UK is committed by law to be zero carbon by 2050. So, if we want our businesses to thrive long-term, we need to start taking our carbon footprint seriously. At Higson these are some of the things we have done:
1. Sustainability is one our core values - it sits at the centre of every decision we make
2. Encourage sustainable travel to the office and with our client work
3. We give sustainable holiday travel - encouraging the team to avoid flying and take a train, or low-carbon travel option instead, wherever possible
4. Conscious about our consumption - if it aint broke...
5. Give sustainable rewards - low carbon food and gift options
6. Have a monthly sustainability review - discuss ideas, areas for improvement at work and in our personal lives
7. Support charities that are committed to sustainability, sharing our expertise and profits
