Fredericks Foundation is a charity that helps disadvantaged people to set up, or expand their own business as a means to achieve financial independence while rebuilding their confidence and self-esteem. Fredericks is helping people turn their lives around, when most other people have turned their backs on them. Individuals who would otherwise be on benefit, because, although they want to start a business, no one else will listen to them (especially Banks), are helped to get a new start by a combination of loans and mentoring.
At this time of turmoil on our streets, social enterprise organisations such as Fredericks give us hope that we can turn our society around. For more information please go to www.fredericksfoundation.org
Frederick’s Foundation was founded 10 years ago by Paul Barry-Walsh, a major shareholder and Chairman of Purpose Software.
Purpose Software contributes to Fredericks every year, but this year plans to do more. Managing Director Mike Burke’s wife, Carla, is embarking on a 100Km trek in Namibia to raise funds for the Foundation (www.namibia-desert-challenge.co.uk) . To spur her on her way, and to raise important funds, Purpose Software will donate 10% of the gross profit from all software sales in September to Fredericks Foundation, via Carla’s JustGiving page (www.justgiving.com/Carla-Burke).

With two thirds of office workers saying they work beyond their contracted hours and 20% not taking any interest in their health whilst in the office, it is clear that more needs to be done to promote a healthy workplace and replace inactive office workers with ‘Office Olympians’. Canon’s guide is designed to provide simple yet practical tips for office workers to keep active and healthy whilst at work. Read More
