It is a strong cultural fit and a charity the company has been proud to adopt.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are already a highly motivated fundraising organisation but the selection of Help for Heroes as our designated charity will help us make a real impact by focusing staff engagement, effort and resource even further.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The Gi Group selected Help for Heroes as their charity partner of choice and are aiming to raise &pound;50,000 for the organisation through a wide range of fundraising activities &ndash; from cake sales and skydiving to a fundraising ball.<\/p>\n<p>Steve King from Southampton Gi described the experience of helping out on the day as &quot;an eye opener&quot;.<\/p>\n<p>He added: &quot;Coming today has given me an appreciation of how in-depth the support is that Help for Heroes provides. This is a place I'd like to be for years and years; always here to provide support.&quot;&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801787772-ADNFCR\"
