Our Global Impact & Social Responsibility

Our purpose

Business growth can help create positive change

Makesworth Accountants is proud to support a culture of giving through the Makesworth Foundation and B1G1: Business for Good. B1G1 connects businesses with vetted projects so that giving can become a consistent part of normal commercial activity.

Our approach combines global projects with direct community support. We focus on initiatives where education, employment, wellbeing and environmental responsibility can create practical long-term benefits.

This page brings that work together in one place. The impact totals and Sustainable Development Goal figures come directly from B1G1, while the supporting stories explain the programmes and partnerships behind our wider commitment.

Makesworth believes that every organisation can help build a better future. Giving back is therefore part of how we think about leadership, relationships and responsible business—not an activity that sits apart from our day-to-day work.

Through the Makesworth Foundation, B1G1 and community partnerships, we support practical initiatives while keeping our clients informed about the wider impact their trust helps make possible.
