We pride ourselves on being an active member of the communities in which we work. As a business we support a number of local and national organisations. We also encourage our staff to engage with community and voluntary groups and look to provide real support to help them to do this, for example, by offering paid “charity days” and matching fundraising activities up to a certain value.
While charitable and fundraising activities take place regularly for a variety of charities and community initiatives, each of our offices selects a local “Charity of the Year” to support.
Some of the charities we support include:
A charity which offers care and support for children and young people with life-threatening conditions as well as their families. EACH offers families flexibility and control over where they receive their care and support whether at home, in hospital or at one of three hospices in Cambridge, Norfolk and Ipswich.
This Northamptonshire-based charity visits six hospitals throughout the East Midlands every week with a trolley full of gifts for adult cancer patients. Each patient is able to pick what they would like free of charge during their treatment.
The initiative was set up by the Lewis family, who were inspired by their own experience with cancer, to try and make life a little bit easier for people in hospital.
Norwich Foodbank supports local individuals and families who find themselves on the edge of disaster through the provision of emergency food supplies. These supplies take the form of nutritionally balanced emergency foodboxes to cover an individual or family’s basic needs for 72 hours: the critical time gap before other support services kick in.
Solving Kids’ Cancer supports children and families affected by neuroblastoma, a rare form of paediatric cancer. The charity provides a range of specialist support services to families affected by neuroblastoma and funds the ground-breaking neuroblastoma research that is essential to push treatment forward and improve outcomes for children.

We recognise our responsibility to make a positive impact on the areas in which we work and are proud to be associated with the following organisations:
Howes Percival is working towards becoming a dementia-friendly business. So far, over 70 employees have become Dementia Friends following a training session led by Dementia Friends Champion and Howes Percival Private Client Associate, Amy Wallhead. We are dedicated to making the communities in which we work dementia-friendly. Amy regularly volunteers her time to hold Dementia Friends sessions for individuals, businesses and organisations and has made over 390 Dementia Friends.
Howes Percival is proud support young people in East Anglia by becoming one of The Careers & Enterprise Company’s Cornerstone Employers.
Regular, meaningful encounters with employers is an absolutely vital part of preparing and inspiring young people for the world of work. We know that this kind of support means young people are less likely to be not in education, employment or training (NEET) when they leave school.
Becoming a Cornerstone Employer means we are committing to working together with our networks, the wider business community and schools and colleges to make this happen in East Anglia.
Norwich for jobs is a network of local employers, charities and organisations volunteering with the aim of getting young people the skills and experience they need to get into work.
Howes Percival supports the initiative in several ways including running mock interviews, providing training on CV writing and by holding workplace tours and presentations.
We were delighted to receive the Norwich for Jobs’ Silver Award in 2019.
