Our Members

Meet the Members of Connecting Futures, inspirational businesses who have already committed to supporting their local community.

“Coram’s Fields has been the firm’s chosen charity since 2016 and we have since expanded our partnership to include a mentoring role in the Youth Employability Scheme which has proven to be incredibly popular with mentors and mentees alike. Like Payne Hicks Beach, Coram’s Fields has a rich, interesting and long standing central London history and shares our organisations’ core values to invoke passion, promote interest in good causes and provide emotional and practical support in times of need.”

Emily Foy, Senior Associate, Payne Hicks Beach

“Deckers supports charities that focus on education, youth, environmental issues and conservation, and believe that this aligns closely with the wonderful benefits that Coram’s Fields charity and playground provide. We were also looking to partner with an organisation located close to our central London European headquarters, which enables our employees to volunteer at Coram’s Fields. Deckers is honoured and proud to support the fantastic works undertaken by the Coram’s Fields team.”

Alex Henderson, Director, Deckers Europe Limited

“The Bedford Estates has owned, developed and cared for much of Bloomsbury since 1669. As such, we are deeply committed to the area, its heritage and its community.

The Connecting Futures programme offers us the opportunity to help local young people to think about careers in the real estate sector, access new opportunities and build the skills to help create a future for themselves.”

“Having supported Coram’s Fields for the last 4 years, we’re delighted to strengthen our relationship by joining Connecting Futures. This will allow our 140+ member companies to form closer connections with the Midtown community, and through the programme’s mentoring, shadowing and networking activities, we hope to play our part in improving the life prospects of local children.”
