Giving back
We care about the community
Our Pledge
As a company we are donating not just our money but also our time this year to really make an impact and give back to charities that are close to our hearts
Our aim is to spread positivity whilst we’re all dusting ourselves down from 2020 and getting back to some sense of normality. We want to do everything we can to give back and take advantage of the added benefit of spending time together as a team, working on our own wellness and mental health by completing the challenges together and ultimately raise funds for our chosen charities below.
Swim For Cake
In the summer of 2023, 4 incredible ladies will be swimming the English Channel to raise money for Birth Trauma Association, Young Minds and the 100 First Foundation. Clarus is very proud to be contributing towards this amazing cause!
Natalie, Billy, Ruth and Harriet have taken on the difficult challenge of swimming the British Channel in July 2023.
All ladies will be raising money for 3 amazing charities.
The British Trauma Association - The charity supports parents experiencing psychological distress after traumatic birth.
Young Minds - YoungMinds are a mental health charity for children, young people and their parents, making sure all young people can get the mental health support that they need.
100 and First Foundation - To give offenders the inspiration, hope and self-worth to create a positive personal change to prevent re-offending.

In 2021, we took on a pledge every quarter where we managed to raise a significant amount of money for a variety of charities.
From January 2021 – March 2021 we raised over £1200 for Black Minds Matter (BMM) by doing a walk/run. The Clarus team smashed through our 1,500km (walk or run) target. We achieved 2,908km’s in total!
From April 2021 – June 2021 we raised £1075 for Kent, Sussex & Surrey Air Ambulance, completing as many miles, lengths, and minutes as possible by doing a ‘virtual’ triathlon.
From July 2021 – September 2021 we raised over £1000 for Addenbrooke’s Hospital, completing a virtual “Race to Old Trafford” where 2 teams effectively raced in a ‘virtual’ relay race from our London Office to Old Trafford completing 200 miles,
During the last quarter we also raised a further £2455 for Teenage Cancer Trust by completing the 3 peaks challenge in 21 hours, totalling 26 hours.
CSR
Everything we do is considered with social responsibility in mind, our chosen charity is Action 4 Children and we encourage everyone in our team to help make a difference in supporting the many charitable organisations our client schools work with, as well as the communities they represent.
The Big Half Marathon
Danny Jillions, ran 'THE BIG HALF' Marathon to help fundraise for Manorfield Primary. This East London school is in one of the most deprived parts of the country and serves an underprivileged community.
Manorfield believes that despite the barriers many of their children face, they will find ways to overcome them and assist the children to achieve both academically and personally. The school is moving forward with plans to raise funds and rebuild a much needed new £600k nursery project. All funds raised will go directly towards the redevelopment of the nursery and outdoor play equipment.
We smashed our fundraising target, raising over £300 in total. Thank you to everyone who donated!
St Thomas the Apostle School Sponsorship
Clarus Education sponsored the shirts of the St Thomas the Apostle School & Sixth Form College football team.
St Thomas the Apostle is a school where success is achieved within a nurturing community. This is reflected in their motto “Achieving Excellence with Care”. The school provides structure, support, celebrates success and recognises the unique talents of young people as individuals.
Students in the school receive the very highest quality education, personalised to meet their individual needs, strengths, and interests. They leave with the foundations for a successful life.
