Our CSR team collaborate, brainstorm and make decisions together as to how we want to achieve our goals. Some of our many successful initiatives so far include creating a quiet room for reflection or prayer, periodic ‘Time for Tea’ sessions for our people, and multiple successful fundraising activities.
Positively affecting society as a whole
We commit to working ethically, considering human rights as well as the social, economic and environmental impacts on what we do.
Our CSR team
We have a number of exceptional people here at IPI that get involved in all things CSR. We work together to continuously strengthen our relationship with our chosen charity partner, UK Youth. We also have a community group in each of our offices, made up of our IPI Community Ambassadors, who support with activities and initiatives that positively and directly impact the communities within which we live and work.
Our charitable partner
UK Youth is a leading national charity, committed to providing all young people, regardless of their background or circumstances, with the right tools and experiences to thrive and be empowered to build bright futures.
As one of UK Youth’s 8,000 partners, we share the charity’s ethos of listening to young people, and providing them with a safe space to share and grow their voices. Alongside fundraising activites, we also support UK Youth by providing mentoring sessions to help the young people it works with to develop new skills as they enter the world of work.

5k Your Way
Each year, we run two major fundraising events for UK Youth. One of which is 5k Your Way. Typically, about a third of IPI People sign up to complete 5km every single day in December… YES, INCLUDING CHRISTMAS DAY. Everyone can complete the 5km in their own way, and the activities can include anything from walking, running, cycling, rowing to horse riding or roller blading… anything goes!
This past December, 25 volunteers covered over 3,875km in distance and raised £1,000 for UK Youth! Click here to find out more.

In April 2024, Ben Spackman and Kirsty Freeman ran the London Marathon for UK Youth!
