SCROLL DOWN

Downward Arrow

We nurture lasting relationships with charities we believe in. Each year, Winch Design sponsors three charities, with an annual target of £1,000 per head for every member of the Winch Design team. Additionally, we gift all employees a charity day, to enable them to actively give time and support to our nominated charities. 


We maintain an important, long-standing partnership with the Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE), whose mission is the protection of at least 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030. Additionally, we also support Maggies’s, who offer practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer as well as to their families and friends. And finally, we're proud to support The Felix Project, a charity that rescues good, surplus food from the food industry and redistributes it to those in need. 


We believe in active, creative fundraising, rather than anonymous giving. In the past our charity ventures have involved everything from cross-country skiing and Arctic dog-sledding to carving an ice suite at Sweden’s ICEHOTEL. Since its conception in 2016, the Winch Design cycling team has taken part in The London to Monaco Bike Ride (organised by Winch Design). The route covers 1,400km in 10 days before arriving at the Prince’s Palace in Monaco, to coincide with the start of the Monaco Yacht Show. As a result, the Winch Design team have raised over £250,000 for two of BLUE’s most important projects.

Our planet is made of 72% water and currently only 4% of it is under protection. The Blue Marine Foundation (BLUE) provides innovative solutions to over-fishing and enables the creation of marine reserves so that conservation of our oceans can happen fast and effectively. BLUE is aiming to have 30% of our world’s oceans protected by 2030. They stand out by being well connected and determined – seizing opportunities when they arise and forging new partnerships to challenge the status quo.

The Felix Project Charity

Established in 2016, The Felix Project is a London-based food redistribution charity that rescues good, surplus food from the food industry that cannot be sold and would otherwise go to waste. 

The food is high-quality and nutritious, including a high proportion of fresh fruit and vegetables, baked goods, salads, meat and fish. They collect or receive food from over 539 suppliers, including supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, restaurants and delis and redistribute it to those in need.
