Corporate Social Responisibility

Working with the community
The partners at the Mint have over 20 years of work in the voluntary and community sector.  We have led and developed some of the leading charities in Birmingham.  We have also been involved in numerous fund raising efforts.  The ownership of the Mint gives us the perfect vehicle to continue this trend.  Our first fund raising event was held on the 26th January in partnership with Heartlands Hospital Neonatal unit.  This was a Bollywood theme night, with live entertainment, auction, raffle and of course quality food.  The event was well attended and was launched by the Lord Mayor.  The key note speaker was, MP Khalid Mahmood and he wished the partners success and promised his support to future events.  We raised £1,250.00 on the night.  Since our opening night we have held a fund raising event in partnership with Step Up and Pioneers, both mentoring charities in  June 2009 and helped to raise over a £1,000.00.  We have supported numerous fund raising events in Birmingham with donating a table for two, for raffles.  Our recent birthday celebration in January 2010, we raised £200.00, which will be used to pay for a Tube Well in Bangladesh in a poor village.  Our plan for the future is to develop a Mint foundation.

We are committed to supporting local charities.  If you would like to work in partnership with us to fundraise for a worthy cause, please contact us.
