Our people and the firm both take charitable giving seriously. We have a Charity Committee consisting of six members of staff which is chaired by Jacqueline Backhaus. The committee deals with all requests from staff and clients for donations and other forms of support.
Unfortunately we cannot support every charity but if you review the links on these pages you will see that we do contribute to a wide range of charities and people throughout the firm work tirelessly to support their chosen charity.
Each year the firm selects two charities to focus its fundraising activities towards. The charities chosen are proposed by staff members and then a firm wide election is held.
This year's choices:
FSI has made a commitment to make life better for people where it can in 2008/09 by supporting two charities with fundraising, time, skills and services.
Our chosen charities are:
Helen and Douglas House
Who provide respite for parent carers and end of life support for families and their ill children

NSPCC
Providing a better life for children in their care

Every little helps...
