Harrow-based the Makesworth Foundation has released its latest impact update covering all activity undertaken across 2023. The update reports that a total of 1,506,827 impacts were recorded and 75 projects were supported.

Sanjay Sah, Managing Director of Makesworth Accountants and founder of the Makesworth Foundation, said, “We would like to share our clients and supporters with a Christmas update and were astonished at just how much had been achieved. The impact the Makesworth Foundation is having is growing and includes planting thousands of trees via Ecologi – 16,241 to date resulting in 137.95 tonnes of carbon reduction. We plan to continue doing this for the long-term planting thousands more trees!

“We undertook a wide variety of direct charitable events in partnership with local charities and local team members in both Nepal and Ukraine. We have recently stared to run regular charitable activities in both countries twice a month. We continue to fund and donate in partnership with B1G1 creating diverse and significant global impacts. We also became a permanent sponsor of Nepal Ru, an organisation that manages running events to promote health and well-being among Nepalese communities in the UK.

“We provide Scholarship to one deserving ACCA student every year in Nepal. Starting in 2022 and continuing in 2023, due to the impressive potential of candidates, we also supported one extra student for a year’s ACCA subscription fees.

“Makesworth Accountants remains a very proud supporter of the Makesworth Foundation and this will continue across 2024. Our plans for the Makesworth Foundation in 2024 include planning the inaugural Makesworth Foundation Charity Ball which will see 300 attendees gather together in London. All funds raised will go to support the vital worth the Foundation undertakes. We will also be registering the Makesworth Foundation with the UK’s Charity Commission. This big step will see the Makesworth Foundation continue to provide funds to support a wide range of vital charitable projects.

“We will also be launching the Makesworth Foundation in Africa. We’ve decided to increase our reach by supporting a country in Africa. We have yet to choose which country but are very keen to support those in most need via a range of charitable projects, extending our reach even further. Finally, Makesworth Accountants will donate 3% of its annual revenue to the Makesworth Foundation supporting the incredible and varied work it carries out. Whilst a lot has been achieved there remains a lot to continue to do and I hope that our clients, colleagues, suppliers and community continue to support this vital work.”
