London, UK – Thursday, December 13, 2022: ICM.com, the global financial services provider, continues its collaboration with the UK-based non-profit organisation Sands End Associated Projects in Action (SEAPIA) as part of its corporate social responsibility (CSR) outreach program. With the start of the winter season, ICM contributed to the organisation by providing warm meal provisions for 70 children aged 4-13 years over a period of 3 weeks.
Sands End Adventure Playground (SEAPIA) was founded in 1970 in London by local residents who recognised the importance of having a place for children to play. Within the last half a decade, SEAPIA has been providing play-childcare provisions for children by engaging them in multiple activities in a stimulating positive environment.
Earlier in 2020, ICM collaborated with SEAPIA to provide supplies in order to create a positive environment for children from 40 families. Supplies provided by ICM helped children to stay in a safe space and express themselves freely during the summer holidays.
“At ICM, we believe that the measure of a successful business goes beyond the profit that it makes. We see corporate responsibility as self-regulation with the aim of social accountability and making a positive impact on society. Continuously growing as a financial firm, we have big goals for the next year, that will hopefully make a positive impact on lives of the youth who are responsible for shaping the future.” commented Shoaib Abedi, Founder, and CEO of ICM.com
Julie Cavanagh, Manager at Sands End Adventure Playground, further affirms: "ICM's support has made a huge difference to the children we support, by providing a hot meal at the end of the day, we are alleviating food insecurities faced by many young people and their families."
As a part of the CSR outreach program, previously ICM.com has partnered with multiple charity foundations around the world including China and UAE to alleviate hunger and reinforce education. Being a responsible player in the community, ICM has other CSR initiatives aligned for the coming year to help leave a positive impact on the society and environment around it.
