Our Business
FIRST Cares
Last month, we made giving back to those in need a priority.
Team members from our New York office went to Covenant House New York, a non-profit that provides shelter and support for homeless youth. Colleagues packed essential toiletries into gift bags for distribution. A huge well done to the committee involved and for everybody who joined to take part! Photos from Covenant House New York are here.
Our New York office also supported the Toys for Tots program. Run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve, this organization distributes toys to children for the holidays, whose parents cannot afford to buy them. FIRST Cares invited our colleagues to leave donations under the tree; we were fortunate to have these collected by the Marines themselves. You can view photos here.
Our FIRST colleagues in London participated in the London Bridge Gift Back program where we invited our colleagues to donate unused new gifts or purchase items that would then be donated to a wide range of local charities. The charities work with those experiencing homelessness, the elderly, young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and those who struggle with poor mental health who live in the area around our London offices. Thank you for all your donations! Photos can be viewed here.
Marketing Update
Marketing harnessed the FIRST Cares holiday spirit by sharing our holiday donations and community participation via an e-card to clients and partners around the globe.
The team also wrapped up 2023 with great supplier partner and client engagement events, FIRST Connects, in both London and New York. FIRST Connects was created to deepen relationships, remain top of mind, and drive long-term new business via our network of suppliers, partners, close clients, and alumni. We hosted a select group in the two regions for an evening of hot-topic discussion, networking, and light bites. Looking forward to more successful networking events in 2024!
