Success Stories
The Impact of Round Two
Success Stories
The Paddington Central Community Fund (PCCF) is built on collaboration between Paddington Central businesses, created to scale our social impact by acknowledging that we can accomplish more together. The PCCF offers Paddington Central businesses a forum to connect with like-minded companies from across the campus and our local partners and charities to make a real and long-lasting social impact.
From 2023 – 2024, the PCCF have donated over £29,000 to local organisations making a significant difference in the lives of vulnerable groups within the Westminster community. This is as a result of the generous contributions of our Paddington Central campus customers and partners of including, Visa, Trend Micro, Finastra and CC Land.
By collaborating these organisations have been able to financially contribute to local charities addressing a wide range of diverse issues such as the mental and physical wellbeing of children, education, social mobility, social inclusion, improving employment rates and so much more. Together we decide which local organisations to support both financially and with employee volunteering.
Below are key highlights:
  • Middle Eastern Women and Society Organisation (MEWSO) is a women’s charity dedicated to supporting migrant women, delivered 26 Functional English classes to 48 women.

 

  • Notre Dame Refugee Centre offering essential services to refugees, asylum seekers, and migrants, the centre supported 318 people this year, with including ESOL classes, advice lines, and welfare support.

 

  • Unfold focuses on supporting vulnerable and disadvantaged young asylum seekers in Westminster through mentoring, group activities, and outreach services. Round 2’s donation funded 188 mentoring sessions for 36 young asylum seekers and monthly Youth Support Group meetings, which offered a safe space for 47 young people to build friendships and access local resources.
