Centrick Invest – Proud Sponsors of the SJP Charitable Foundation

On Saturday 9th November, Centrick Invest had the honour of joining forces with the St. James’s Place (SJP) Charitable Foundation as a proud sponsor at their annual charity Gala. The evening was more than just a celebration, it was a testament to the power of collective commitment to positive change and to the lasting impact that the Foundation has made around the world.

The SJP Charitable Foundation, established in 1992, has spent over 30 years dedicated to uplifting lives and communities in need. Their mission is as inspiring as it is ambitious: to make a positive and lasting difference by awarding grants to charities across Asia and the UK. With over £130 million raised and distributed to thousands of charities, the foundation has become a model of corporate philanthropy, earning its place as one of the largest corporate foundations in the UK. This year alone, they supported nearly 900 charities with over £7.6 million in funding, helping to amplify the voices of those advocating for a better future.

As proud sponsors of the event, Centrick Invest was thrilled to stand by a foundation whose values so closely align with our own. At Centrick, we believe deeply in the power of giving back and making an impact that resonates beyond the business world. Our partnership with the foundation allows us to contribute to efforts that extend far beyond financial growth and that reach those facing challenging circumstances. We see this as an opportunity to expand the reach of the foundation’s work, supporting them as they extend crucial resources to charities that are changing lives.

Supporting Those Who Need It Most

With a core commitment to children and young people, particularly those facing physical, social, or economic disadvantages, the SJP Foundation has continually funded organisations that support young people up to the age of 25. This dedication provides invaluable opportunities and resources to those who need it most, helping them overcome obstacles and reach their potential.

In addition, the foundation has broadened its scope to include critical support for cancer charities, hospices, and mental health organisations. These causes are actively supported through grants and a network of volunteers who contribute their time and skills, creating a profound sense of community and shared purpose.

Overcoming Challenges and Expanding Impact

For many charities, the recent years have presented unprecedented challenges. Economic pressures from inflation and food shortages have intensified the need for funding while creating even more competition for limited resources. The SJP Charitable Foundation has stepped up, continuing to invest in both small and large charities that drive a lasting and transformational change. The foundation’s focus on small to medium-sized charities within local communities allows their grants to make a targeted and often immediate impact. This localised support has enabled hundreds of smaller organisations to grow, innovate, and offer essential services that otherwise might not have been possible.

The SJP Gala – A Night to Remember

Saturday’s Gala was an inspiring celebration of everything the SJP Charitable Foundation stands for. The room was filled with individuals who share a passion for giving back, and the atmosphere was one of hope, gratitude, and vision. It was humbling to witness the dedication of the foundation’s team, its partners, and all attendees who believe so deeply in the power of change. Together, we reflected on the accomplishments of the past year and renewed our commitment to future impact.

Centrick Invest is grateful for the opportunity to participate in this work, alongside an inspiring network of like-minded individuals and organisations. We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended the gala with us.

Looking Ahead – A Brighter Future

As we move forward, Centrick Invest remains committed to their role in creating a positive impact. We are proud to support the SJP Charitable Foundation in its mission to foster a world where everyone has access to resources, care, and opportunities.

Thank you to the St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation for an unforgettable evening. We look forward to many more years of shared dedication to making the world a better place, one grant, one partnership, and one life changed at a time.
