Spotlight on Oakam

Oakam, the London-based financial services company has been a wonderful example of how corporate engagement with PEAS can make for a rewarding and enjoyable relationship.

Oakam staff have helped us through a number of activities such as encouraging businesses in central London to place PEAS collection tins in their stores, sending a walking team along to this year's Bridges to Africa, sponsoring t-shirts for Bridges link teachers and stewards and just last weekend pledging to raise £2000 by taking part in the Great Kent Bike Ride.

Samantha Johnson from Oakam explains how PEAS has helped the business both internally and externally:

At Oakam, working with PEAS is more than just fundraising but an opportunity to bring our staff together from different departments. We chose PEAS as we have both customers and staff who are originally from Africa and we wanted to support something close to their hearts.”

Oakam employees donned their cycling gear to cycle 60 miles for PEAS on Sunday 12th June, with more employees getting back on their bikes to cycle an impressive 100m at the Wessex bike ride in September.

Here at PEAS, we have been overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of Oakam employees and look forward to continuing our relationship long into the future. For more information about Oakam, please click here.
