Plus Accounting’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme – Our Commitment to the Local Community and Environment

The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme at Plus Accounting covers all aspects of our local community involvement and internal environmental initiatives. We focus on recycling confidential and general waste, promoting a paperless office with our Iris Opendocs scanning program, and supporting three nominated local charities annually.

As an innovative and forward-thinking accounting practice in Brighton, we aim to create a high-quality CSR program that positively impacts our local community while investing in sustainable practices within our firm.

Supporting Local Brighton Charities in 2024/25

For the 2024/25 financial year, Plus Accounting is proud to support:

The Clock Tower Sanctuary – Helping homeless young people aged 16-25 in Brighton & Hove.

Ronald McDonald House Brighton – Supporting families with children treated at the Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital.

The Clock Tower Sanctuary: Empowering Homeless Youth

The Clock Tower Sanctuary helps homeless young people aged 16-25 in Brighton & Hove. Their mission is to work with young people who are homeless or insecurely housed, enabling them to move from crisis to independence by providing practical facilities, access to activities, and professional support.

We have partnered with The Clock Tower Sanctuary for a number of years to help raise awareness and funds for the amazing work they do to support those in need at such a young age. We are proud to now look after the annual Plus Charity Football Cup, and have successfully completed tournaments since 2022 raising just over £3k each year and involving a number of local companies.

Ronald McDonald House Brighton: Supporting Families During Difficult Times

Did you know a local charity supports families with children being treated at the Royal Alexander Children’s Hospital in Brighton? Ronald McDonald House Brighton sits opposite the Royal Alexandra Children’s Hospital in the centre of the city. This eight-bedroom House provides free, comfortable accommodation to families with children and premature babies being treated at the hospital. They also run a further 10 bedrooms on the top floor of the children’s hospital – meaning they can offer 18 ensuite rooms to families with seriously ill children.

We have chosen Ronald McDonald House as one of our nominated charities, and the funds raised will support the House through their online Amazon Gift list and more. If you would like to learn how your business can get involved, please contact us or visit their website for more information.

Survivors’ Network: Empowering Survivors of Sexual Violence

Survivors’ Network believes in, listens to, and supports survivors of sexual violence in Sussex. Guided by intersectional feminist principles, they offer inclusive and compassionate support to survivors of all ages, genders, races, religions, backgrounds, and abilities.

Understanding that healing begins with a small step, Survivors’ Network provides a range of services, including:

• ISVA (Independent Sexual Violence Advisor) support for navigating the criminal justice system
• A confidential helpline for survivors and their supporters
• Group work environments for survivors to share their experiences
• Trauma-informed professional counselling

Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign

Plus Accounting is a proud participant in the Brighton & Hove Living Wage Campaign. As our Partner Paul Feist explained, “Hiring and retaining good quality staff is a top priority for all businesses, and Brighton & Hove is not an inexpensive place to live. Therefore, the Living Wage Campaign gives employees a better quality of life, meaning businesses can grow motivated teams and secure the best people in the marketplace.”
