Business Giving Stories
How businesses have made a difference to local livesLocal solicitors, Peacock and Co named Merton Giving their charity of the year for 2020. The business supported Merton Giving through a range of activities including will writing activity, where they exchanged their professional skills in return for donations, charity collections in their two local offices as well as taking part in Merton Giving Week for two years running. The team dressed up in their finest to celebrate Funky Friday and donated gifts in the 2020 Food and A Gift For All campaign.
“We are thrilled to be supporting such a vibrant, growing local charity and to see its impact in our community. Our association with Merton Giving is something that Peacock & Co are proud of – and we are keen to spread word to others within our business. Giving back feels good, but it is a social responsibility that we can all strive to be better at too.”
Katherine Carroll, Partner. Peacock & Co.
Merton Giving connected local business, Ry, with Age UK Merton. They’ve supported the charity for a second year in a variety of ways involving time as well as donations. They’ve put smiles on faces of the local community by arranging deliveries over the Christmas period and have made contributions to their festive lunches.
“We were introduced to Merton Giving and in turn were introduced to ways in which we can be more involved and give back to the local community. This is something that is daunting without a central hub of contacts and information. After a discussion on what Ry was able to offer as a company the team at Merton Giving was able to provide us with a list of options that suited our inputs and passions within our community.”

Merton Giving Week 2020
Food and A Gift For AllMerton Giving Week returned for its third year in November 2020. In the run up to the festive season, we wanted to build on the heart-warming community spirit we’d seen through the year. The focus for the campaign was to support local people experiencing food insecurity. We also teamed up with local charities to encourage people to donate a gift hamper to those less fortunate and facing the festive period alone.
Over £2,500 was raised to help those in our community facing food insecurity and over 125 gift hampers were donated. Thanks to the generosity of Wimbledon Foundation and their donation of Wimbledon gifts, we were able to provide a gift for all to over 550 vulnerable local residents.
2.6 Challenge
Merton Giving took part in the #TwoPointSixChallenge - a campaign to help charities recoup some of their income lost by the cancellation of fundraising events.
People took on the challenge for us with great enthusiasm. They ran, jogged, rowed, cycled, performed press-ups, push-ups, leg lifts, golf ball challenges and even shaved to help us raise money. The challenges raised over £6,000.
We're thankful to everyone who has taken on a challenge in aid of Merton Giving and for all those who have supported the challenges through your generous donations and sponsorship.
