The PwC Foundation
About Us
The PwC Foundation is a registered charity (No 1144124), set up in October 2011 to promote social inclusion and sustainable development in the UK, in line with our purpose.
We're currently supporting several partner charities, which align with our community engagement focus areas. One of these, Mental Health UK has been voted for by our staff.
Mental Health UK
Mental Health UK tackles the root causes of poor mental health and equips individuals with tools for a better life at home, school, and work. Combining the expertise of four charities with over 50 years of experience, they adapt to a changing world.
Our partnership with Mental Health UK began in December 2024. Over the next three years we will be raising funds in a variety of ways for this very important cause. We will also look to provide lots of volunteering support, sharing our skills and collaborating with Mental Health UK to create a bigger impact together.
One Firm One Day
In addition to our year round activity, every year we dedicate a day in our calendar to collectively give back to social initiatives and our local communities. We call it One Firm One Day.
Through the PwC Foundation, we align our charitable and community contributions with areas that matter to our people, that help us live up to our purpose, and where our expertise can have the most impact. So we’re able to target our efforts to help solve important problems such as social inequality.
By dedicating a day in our calendar to giving back, our people get the support and time needed to use their skills and innovation for hundreds of social initiatives across the UK.

Our first 10 years, 2011 - 2021
In November 2021, we celebrated 10 years of the PwC Foundation, the PwC Social Entrepreneurs Club and our London social enterprise hub, the Fire Station.
Since we began our journey in 2011, we have supported hundreds of charities and social enterprises through funding, access to our supply chain and the skills of our people who use their time and expertise to increase our social impact across the UK.
Our fundraising activities
We raise funds through activities great and small throughout the year, and are proud of the support our people give to our charity partners. They have run, swum, made cakes, ate cakes, climbed mountains, trekked, cycled and quizzed to support the charity beneficiaries. Our annual fundraising and volunteering day, One Firm One Day, is also a great showcase of our support for our PwC Foundation charities.
ColourBrave Charity Committee
As part of our commitment to continue to build an inclusive culture and tackle racial inequality, we established a ColourBrave Charity Committee, made up of people from across the firm. Their role is to help allocate grants and develop volunteering opportunities to increase our support for Black-led social enterprises, as well as charities with ethnic minority beneficiaries.
