Atlas employees have already participated in Action for Children’s fundraising, with many supporting the charity’s 60 London Marathon runners.
Atlas employees cheered runners near the 25-mile mark alongside their friends and families.
In June, a team of volunteers from Atlas provided security at FestivALL, an accessible music festival for children and families which the charity supports.
And in July, Atlas Security managing director, Gary Stanton, entered seven-day endurance event The Monster Triathlon raising over £2,000 for the charity.
Atlas is also committed to supporting the charity’s annual sleep-out, Boycott Your Bed in October, and to entering a team of volunteers to competing at the annual Yorkshire Three PeaksChallenge.
The decision to support the charity followed the publication of the company's annual 'Employee Happiness Survey' which highlighted support for a children's charity as the most popular choice among employees.
I am delighted to be associated with Action for Children knowing this is what our people want and knowing what a worthwhile charity it is to support.
Stanton explains: “We wanted to make sure we listen to our people and work with a charity that is closest to them.
I am confident that Atlas and all its people will do everything in their ability to promote this cause at all its events.”
Natalie Salazar, Regional Manager for Action for Children in London and the South East of England, adds: “We’re delighted to be working in partnership with Atlas Security.
It’s wonderful to see their employees brilliant fundraising efforts so far be part of the great actions coming from their Employee Happiness Survey.
"We’re really looking forward to bringing some of those events and volunteering activities to life across the next few years.
Atlas Security will be making a huge difference to improve the lives of so many children and young people across the UK.
Thank you, Team Atlas!”
