The Alan Curbishley Classic Golf Day 2024

The Axis Foundation hosted our annual Golf Day fundraiser in July raising money for the Axis Foundation and our partners Demelza.

MISSION

Right at the heart of the community, the Axis Foundation donates to small, local and impactful causes to give back to the communities in which our parent company Axis operates.

VISION

We simply want to help more people in more places. We believe in giving grants as a long term hand up, not a short term handout to enable the causes we support to become self-sustaining.

HISTORY

The Axis Foundation is a registered charity founded in 2008 by Axis Europe CEO, John Hayes. We started donating in 2009/10 and in our first eight years of giving, we donated £1m to 110 causes!

Each year Axis donates a percentage of its profit, via the Axis Foundation, into charitable and community-based projects in the areas the company operates, primarily London, the South East, Midlands and North West.
