Who we are
As a Cambridge firm, we want to be able to support local Cambridge charities.
In 2018 we proudly launched the PEM Charitable Trust, which enables us to be more agile and to support smaller, local charities. We wanted our giving to be meaningful and personal to our people.
The PEM Charitable Trust is a registered charity (registered charity number 1181792), managed by four internal trustees – James Burrett, Kelly Bretherick, Warren Tilbury and Michael Godfrey, and one external trustee – Laurence Weeks.
The trustees work alongside our internal grant-giving committee which represents a variety of departments across the firm (who review the applications and decide on who should receive grants) and in 2022 we proudly issued our first grant!
This committee allows our employees to decide which causes are closest to the heart of the firm to really see the difference PEM can make.
To celebrate our 150th year, we are aiming to donate 150 grants by the end of 2025! We are delighted to have hit 100 grants in June.
