Believe | ORFoundation | Sponsorship
We have close and lasting relationships with the following organisations and are proud to have sponsored the following:
Bursary Programme for a Student from Bosnia and Herzegovina
Having worked for the past decade with IEDC, The Bled School of Management in Slovenia, we decided that their Young Managers Program for high potential individuals was a perfect development opportunity for one of our colleagues. In keeping with the aims of the ORFoundation we also chose also to sponsor a deserving student and so provided the fees, travel and living expenses for a participant from Bosnia and Herzegovina. This was an appropriate choice. Sarajevo has long been one of the cities we have visited on the Strategic Leaders Programme.
CharityWorks in Washington DC
For a number for years, we made contributions to CharityWorks in the United States. It is an exceptional charity whose mission is to impact organisations creating positive change in the Washington Metropolitan area by uniting corporate leaders, donors and volunteers to enable non-profits to transform themselves and the lives they touch.

Wedmore Opera, Wedmore Theatre and Wedmore Arts Festival
Our Head Office is based in the rural area of Wedmore, Somerset. The village has an active and nationally recognised cultural life that includes community based opera and theatre. As part of our Good Citizen Programme we have been active supporters of these events for nearly twenty years. We are the prime sponsor of the Arts Festival, colleagues serve on the management committees of the Theatre and Opera groups, both of which receive annual funding awards from the ORFoundation, and we support local students to pursue their cultural interests.
