Partnerships with Purpose
We collaborate with local businesses that share our values, helping each other grow and thrive. One of our ongoing partnerships is with Taste, a fantastic local provider who supports our learning events with high-quality, thoughtful catering.
We also work closely with Signature Recruitment on a joint mission to broaden access to learning and development opportunities. Together, we've hosted leadership breakfasts and live webinars on timely, high-impact topics, creating space for professionals to connect, reflect, and explore new thinking. It's a partnership rooted in shared purpose: providing expert coaching and development opportunities through engaging discussions.
As members of the Devon Chamber, we're part of a thriving network of regional organisations committed to doing business in a responsible, people-first way.
Thanks to all our suppliers, supporters and service providers, whose collaboration and care behind the scenes ensure our work runs smoothly and with heart.
Charity & Fundraising
Our Giving Pledge
At Crisp, we’re committed to supporting the causes our team cares about. That’s why we pledge to match any personal donations our employees make to charity, doubling the impact and encouraging a culture of generosity.
Andros Animal Shelter
Andros Animal Shelter
One of the charities we’re proud to support is the Andros Animal Shelter, run by Sandy Britton, a lifelong animal advocate who has dedicated her home to rescuing and caring for abandoned animals on the Greek island of Andros.
From dogs to donkeys, Sandy’s sanctuary is a safe haven for all kinds of animals in need, supported by volunteers from around the world.Â
Cancer Research UK
Cancer Research UK
We're proud to be backing one of our team's family member, Lynn, as she once again takes on Brave the Shave, raising vital funds for Cancer Research UK, a cause that’s incredibly close to her heart.
With several members of her family affected by cancer, including her sister and daughter, Lynn is determined to make a difference. Cancer Research UK is the world’s largest independent cancer research organisation, leading the fight against a disease that touches so many lives.
Ilminster Lions Club
Ilminster Lions Club
As part of Crisp's Helen Gilzean ILM Award, we honour the memory and legacy of our colleague Helen through an annual donation to the Ilminster Lions Club.Â
A charity close to her heart. The Lions serve their local community through a wide range of initiatives, from supporting families affected by cancer to running environmental, literacy, and hunger relief programmes. It’s our privilege to contribute to their incredible work in Helen’s name.
Moorsfields Eye Charity
Moorsfields Eye Charity
We’re supporting Eye to Eye 2025, a sponsored walk raising funds for Moorfields Eye Charity. An organisation that made a real difference to a friend of one of our team after they experienced significant sight loss.
Moorfields leads the way in pioneering eye research, innovative treatments, and specialist care, helping millions affected by visual impairment in the UK and beyond.
Team Volunteer Days
Giving our time is just as important as giving our expertise. Our team members have dedicated time to volunteer with local causes, supporting everything from community events to grassroots initiatives. These days are about rolling up our sleeves, connecting with the community, and contributing in meaningful ways.
Charity Fundraising
In 2024, we were proud to raise nearly £2,000 for Force Cancer Charity, a local organisation providing vital support to individuals and families facing cancer. From bake sales to team challenges, we're always finding creative (and fun) ways to give back.
Supporting CEDA
As part of our Community work, we helped provide training opportunities for CEDA, an incredible charity helping disabled adults and children across Devon. We’ve delivered coaching and training to help their team grow, communicate and make an even bigger impact in the community every day.
