Corporate Forum
Social and corporate responsibility is playing an ever increasing role in the corporate environment. Working hand in hand with ACT will help your company fulfil its commitment to the local community.
ACT Corporate Forum has been created to engage with our supporters and to create a mutually beneficial network of local and regional contacts.
Our members have a keen interest in the re-shaping and development of the Addenbrooke’s site in Cambridge, as well as understanding the benefit to networking and opening up contacts – our corporate supporters are a valuable asset to us here at ACT, helping us promote our messages and appeals as well as helping with sponsorship and donations.
Addenbrooke’s is ideally placed to benefit from all the scientific research taking place on site, as well as the huge wealth of innovative companies on our door-step.
All helping to create the special ‘Cambridge phenomenon’ of scientific knowledge and business know-how helping Addenbrooke’s grow from a district hospital to one of the UK’s five ‘Academic Health Science Centre’ – a biomedical campus containing some of the leading research facilities in Europe – all benefiting our patients.

Corporate Forum Member highly commended
| Taylor Vinters, members of ACT’s Corporate Forum, was highly commended in the Pro Bono Company of the Year Award 2010 at the Business in the Community's annual Awards for Excellence. The awards, which recognise leadership and innovation in responsible business, are hugely prestigious and considered the ultimate accolade by winning companies for their responsibility activities in a corporate environment. The commendation was presented in front of 380 guests at the East of England Awards Gala Dinner on Tuesday 8 June 2010 at Hengrave Hall, Bury St Edmunds. |
|
| Accepting the award, Ed Turner, managing partner of Taylor Vinters said, "Our former managing partner Christine Berry continues to lead our firm's involvement with a diverse range of charities, both in fundraising for them and in advising them on legal issues as a partner in our not-for-profit legal team. Our commendation was for the exciting Corporate Partnering approach which we have developed with ACT. This involved us carrying out pro bono work for their Pink Rose Appeal and the Buy Dad a Day Appeal, where we helped ACT assess a concept and fundraising strategy and then provided legal support for the campaigns and the website. The legal input was complemented by our staff embracing fundraising and organising several events for ACT. This commendation recognises the energetic and enthusiastic support of my colleagues and the fundraisers from ACT, particularly Claire Billing, their Corporate Manager." |
