Charity Committee
Our charity work is important to our team, and as a company we will continue to invest in this important initiative.
In 2022, the Charity Committee had a budget of £15,000 for charity contribution. By the end of 2022, we had raised £25,000 for worthy causes as our brilliant team contributed £10,000 through their own generous donations and participation. These causes were wide-ranging and included support for people affected by the conflict in Ukraine, dementia and cancer, as well as supporting local sports teams and community initiatives such as Cheshire Search and Rescue.
Throughout the year, the team undertook a range of initiatives that included active challenges, the return of the annual quiz, a pet-themed photo contest and supporting underprivileged children and homeless young people at Christmas with a toy appeal. In addition, we supported regional and local charities that our team are personally involved in.

2022 saw Project One undertake significant technology upgrades, including upgrading our authentication and security, continuing the laptop upgrade programme and rolling out the new iPhone. We continue to work with our technology implementation partner, Razorblue to maintain and upgrade our core technology. The upgrade of our authentication was the move from Legacy Authentication to Modern Authentication, to allow for Multi-Factor Authentication which creates an extra layer of security. We have changed the way we authenticate; we now use the Microsoft Authenticator app which uses face ID. With the mobile phone refresh, we implemented a new Mobile Device Manager, Intune, to better manage company data and give us the ability to remote wipe this data if a mobile phone is lost or stolen. In order to continue our customer partnerships, it is important that we maintain our Cyber Essentials accreditation. To do so, we will continue to update our technology solutions, such as new sign-on protective measures and the performance of a pen-test across our systems. The Cyber Essentials Accreditation gets increasingly difficult to achieve year on year, so it is great that we’ve secured this for 2023.
In 2023, the Charity Committee will run a ‘25 for 25’ initiative, supporting 25 charities in celebration of Project One’s 25th anniversary. With an increased budget of £25,000, our team will nominate causes close to their heart that they collectively wish to support and propose charitable and community activity that enriches the lives of others. We are really looking forward to hearing many fresh and innovative ways of supporting charitable giving. The committee is comprised of Project One colleagues who enthusiastically facilitate the many charitable initiatives throughout the year. We always look forward to welcoming new members.
