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 British Red Cross Ukraine Appeal
The Europa team are currently in the process of raising a target of £50k for the British Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
After witnessing the events unfold in Ukraine, we knew immediately we wanted to do something to help. The work that the British Red Cross is currently doing to provide critical care to those in Ukraine and its bordering countries is incredible. To show our support, we plan to raise as much money as possible, but we need your help.
Through our Europa 50:50 match-funding scheme, we plan to match the funds raised up to the total of £50k. If you would like to show your support and donate, please visit our JustGiving page.

We’re passionate about helping our local communities. Charity work is incredibly important to us and we’re keen to endorse causes close to the hearts of our employees. Across our network we get involved with popular charity days including Make May Purple for the Stroke Association, Wear Red for the Children’s Heart Surgery Fund and Wear a Hat Day for Brain Tumour Research.
We also participate in Red Rose Day for Comic Relief, Dressed by the Kids for Oxfam, Superheroes for Diabetes UK and Christmas Jumper Day for Save the Children. As well as hosting internal events for awareness events such as Mental Health Awareness Week for The Mental Heath Foundation.
