The Artemis Charitable Foundation

Each year, Artemis gives a proportion of revenues to the Artemis Charitable Foundation. Established in 2007, it manages our charitable activities and our involvement in the wider world. Our staff and the trustees choose which charities will benefit.

The foundation supports ‘core’ charities in the UK and internationally in the areas of poverty, education and the environment and also makes donations to global disasters and emergencies when they occur.

We encourage our staff to get involved as much as possible through:

• Staff-nominated Charity of the Year and Cancer Charity of the Year
• Support for staff who are undertaking fundraising challenges
• Volunteering with our partner charities
• Charity trips overseas
• Give As You Earn matched funding

Annual review

In 2024, the Artemis Charitable Foundation donated over £745,000 to 125 charities and our Artemis staff raised over £110,000 through fundraising challenges. In another tough year for the charity sector, we are proud to have partnered with many extraordinary charities, providing both financial support and through the dedication of our staff who volunteer their time and skills to help causes close to their hearts..

What gives us all heart is the quality of the organisations that we have long term relationships with. We have partnered with Shivia for the same number of years. It started out by supplying poultry toolkits in West Bengal and has developed several new initiatives to deliver positive outcomes for some of the poorest people on earth. The money generated from these toolkits gets used for the education of children, which is the long-term driver of prosperity.

Our growing relationship with Kids Operating Room developed further in 2024. We like the focus of the model as it continues to open paediatric operating theatres across Africa and other under-served countries. At an average cost of around £75 an operation, the charity is transforming lives in parts of the world where there is little access to paediatric care. Three of our colleagues travelled to Rwanda and helped with the installation of a new operating theatre. They heard first-hand how these facilities were badly needed. Five of our colleagues then ran the New York marathon to raise funds for the charity – raising enough to finance over 400 operations. And to finish off the year, we hosted a fundraiser in our Edinburgh office to highlight the great work Kids Operating Room undertakes. The development of this relationship typifies the kind of engagement we like with our charity partners
