Meet some of our With Purpose Network Members

Join the network

  • “This initiative, created by Rachel Hales of Get Synergised, helps the pressing need and growing desire from the business and charitable sectors to come together more frequently to help solve local and global challenges and to foster more meaningful cross-sector partnerships.”

    Nick Finlayson-Brown - Partner and Head of Office - Mills & Reeve

  • “At PwC we aim to align our purpose with areas which will have a positive impact on the local community. In Cambridge and East of England we are very much focused on how we can support the skilling of young people and improve social mobility. We are really looking forward the events and meeting like minded businesses and organisations.”

    Simon De Young - Senior Partner - PwC

  • “I attend the With Purpose Network in person events because I love making connections with people, you just never know what magic is going to happen when the right people are in the room.”

    Nicky Shepard - CEO - Abbey People

  • “The process of working with Rachel has enabled us to also put into place a strategic plan for our social responsibility aligned to Tees’ heritage and values, as a responsible way to do business but most importantly collaborating with our communities, clients, and employees to help more people to a better future.”

    Sally Powell - Partner & Co-Head - Tees' Corporate & Social Responsibility

  • “As a business, our objective is clearly to be profitable, but our ethos is that our business also has a responsibility to contribute to the wider community. Our aim is to ensure that both the business and our staff are engaged in supporting and making a positive impact. These sorts of networks can only be a good thing for the community as a whole.”

    Kevin Appleton - Head of Business - Group 1 BMW & MINI Cambridge

  • “I attended my first With Purpose Network in-person event one evening in November 2023. In the 'speed dating' session between businesses and community groups, I met Sarah Coates, Partner at Tees, who kindly offered to review, pro bono, the lease documentation for the warehouse venue from our prospective landlord when the time was right. We have now opened 'The Warehouse,' Cambridge's first community indoor skatepark. We are hugely grateful to Tees and the With Purpose Network & Community for the amazing pro bono support with our project!”

    Paul Elbro - Director - Cam Skate

  • “I attend the With Purpose Network in person events because I want to learn how I can work more effectively with businesses to get them involved in our work in a way that is enjoyable for their staff, productive for us, and above all over the long-term.”

    David Brockway - Product Development Manager - Form The Future

  • “Providing translation services for charities pro bono as a socially minded business and With Purpose Network member has been far more impactful than probably any of us in the business could have envisaged. When the whole team has been involved in the projects, and they get a response from the charity saying, ‘WOW, THIS IS AMAZING!!! UTTERLY AMAZING! HUGE, HUGE THANK YOU FOR THESE,’ it gave us all a huge warm fuzzy feeling and has really bonded us as a team”

    Mary Gilbey - Director - Anglia Translations Ltd

  • “Networking events through the With Purpose Network brought the alliance between myself and Hayley Norfolk, CEO at Home Start Cambridgeshire, together. Supporting this charity has been a powerful reminder of the impact wellbeing can have on those who give so much of their time and energy to helping others. The collaboration opportunities forged by the With Purpose Network, between Cambridgeshire nonprofits and local businesses, are absolutely vital for our community, and I’d encourage more to get involved.”
