Charitable work at ILX

In 2021, our team made the decision that we wanted to start giving back! Like many people and organisations, we reflected on what was important to us, and as a company we actively began fundraising for nominated charities.

Supporting people and communities

Our nominated charity for 2023-24 was The Menopause Charity. The charity provides information, advice, support, and training to those experiencing the menopause and healthcare professionals responsible for treating menopausal individuals.

Over the past two years, through a range of fundraising activities, we have raised over £6,000 for The Menopause Charity.

In addition to this, all staff are entitled to take a day of paid time to volunteer at a charitable organisation of their choice. In August 2024, a group of staff took the day to help at the Swan Lifeline charity in Windsor. Other colleagues also took the opportunity to support causes close to their own hearts.
