Brewin Dolphin, one of the UK’s leading independently-owned providers of discretionary wealth management, has added to its charity mandate by partnering with the Winning Scotland Foundation, a charity that provides access to opportunity for the young in Scotland to enable them to achieve their full potential through such mediums as education, training and employment.
As part of its partnership with Winning Scotland Foundation, Brewin Dolphin will donate a sum of money each month over the course of 2017, as well as undertaking staff engagement activities across its four Brewin Dolphin regional offices in Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Brewin Dolphin employees will play a key role in volunteering activities, both for the charity itself and also by mentoring youngsters across Scotland.
Speaking about the partnership with Winning Scotland Foundation, Jonathan Tweedie, Head of Office, Brewin Dolphin (Edinburgh) said: “The partnership with Winning Scotland Foundation provides an opportunity for Brewin Dolphin to help make a genuine difference to the youth of Scotland, creating both an inspirational and aspirational environment by assisting in the development of a growth mindset, enabling every child to attain a personal best in life.
“As a team we are extremely excited to be involved and want to bring the passion we show in our working environment to the development of opportunities for the young people of Scotland.”
Sir Bill Gammell, Founder and Chairman, Winning Scotland Foundation, added: “I am delighted that Brewin Dolphin is supporting our work at Winning Scotland Foundation.
“Both the financial contribution and the staff engagement enabled by this new partnership will help us to provide more opportunities for young people across Scotland to achieve their personal best in life.”
