Our charity
1978 marked the start of our Charitable Trust and since then, Europa Worldwide Group has shown its support to several community initiatives and good causes. Since 2019 alone, Europa’s staff have raised a total of £23k and supported more than 25 UK charities! We are incredibly proud that every year Europa’s staff, suppliers and friends back community initiatives and causes that are important to them. Fundraising brings people together and our initiatives is a great way of supporting our staff whilst helping charities close to our hearts.
Supporting The National Autistic Society, Paul Brady (Showfreight Operations Manager based at our Birmingham site) ran 7km every day for 7 days and raised £3,000 for his chosen charity – an organisation close to Paul’s heart. (Read Paul’s Story)

Europa 50:50 scheme
To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we launched our match-funding programme called 50:50 which since 2019, has raised a total of £23k and supported more than 25 UK charities chosen by our team. Each member of our team has the chance to fundraise for a charity of their choice with us matching the funds raised up to the value of £500 per person. Since its launch, our staff have taken part in gruelling, fun and inspirational challenges – walking, running, swimming and baking their way to raise money!
