Our charitable giving

Rothesay supports a number of charities and each year appoints a Charity of the Year voted for by employees. We also provide corporate matching for employees' charitable donations of up to £1,000 per employee a year in total.

  • Our Charity of the Year

    Cancer Research UK is the world’s leading cancer charity dedicated to saving lives through research, influence and information. It supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of over 4,000 scientists, doctors and nurses. This pioneering work into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of cancer has helped save millions of lives.

    Rothesay’s Charity of the Year programme works to champion and help raise funds for a charity that is nominated and voted for by employees. Cancer Research UK is our 2025 Charity of the Year.

  • Alzheimer's Society

    Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes and there’s currently no cure. Alzheimer’s Society is the UK’s leading dementia charity and is there for everybody affected by dementia. Whether that’s someone with a diagnosis, or someone who cares for them, they are there to support people every step of the way. Their comprehensive and personalised support begins from the point of diagnosis. Alongside this, they fight for people’s rights to live well and receive high quality care, and invest in research that will change lives now and in the future.

    Rothesay sponsored Alzheimer's Society Annual Conference since 2022. The 2024 conference brought together key decision makers and influencers within the dementia community, alongside people with lived experience to show how diagnosis, social care and research together can change the lives of those living with dementia today and in the future. We also sponsored the republication of their Carer’s Guide, which is a practical guide to helping carers support their loved ones with dementia and to look after themselves as their main carer.

  • Hospice UK

    Hospice care eases the physical and emotional pain of death and dying, letting people focus on living right until the end. Sadly, many people miss out on this essential care. Hospice UK fights for hospice care for all who need it, for now and forever.

    Hospice UK is the national champion for hospice care. They represent a community of 200+ hospices across the UK, delivering services to adults and children. Their mission is to transform the way society cares for dying people and their families. The UK faces a growing need for hospice care, with an aging population and increasing demand for palliative and end-of-life services. Hospice UK are determined that everyone, who needs it, no matter their circumstances receive the care they need and deserve.

    Rothesay has supported Hospice UK with a number of their recent fund raising events and looks forward to supporting their annual carol concert in 2024.
