A digital marketing agency has marked its fifth year in business with a string of charitable donations, making 2024 its most generous so far.
Alphageek Digital, based in Friar Gate, has shown its commitment to the local community by supporting a range of organisations from fun-filled community events to grassroots sports sponsorships.
And the firm, which is run by its three founders, Art Lindop, Kieran Flynn and Alex Mills, has not just made financial donations, staff have rolled up their sleeves and helped out too.
In February the company went head-to-head with other firms in an annual Shrove Tuesday pancake race raising money to support the health and wellbeing of residents at YMCA Derbyshire.
And over the summer Alphageek helped a much-loved children’s charity carry on camping after stepping away from their keyboards and into the countryside for a week.
A team volunteered at the long-running Derby Kids’ Camp, which provides free camping holidays in the beautiful Peak District to hundreds of children who might not otherwise get a break.
The organisation has also sponsored Belper Rugby Club, Southwingfield Cricket Club and Sleetmoor United, based in Swanwick, and provided football kits for a team at St Alban’s Catholic Voluntary Academy, in Chaddesden.
Managing director Art Lindop said: “During 2024, we’ve focused on giving back to causes that resonate with our values and make a real difference to the people of Derby and Derbyshire.
“We are committed to doing the right thing and flying in formation – so working collectively to support grassroots organisations in Derby and Derbyshire aligns perfectly with our vision.
“Engaging in CSR activities allows us to go beyond profits and make a positive difference in society. I think a real highlight for the team was helping out at Derby Kids’ Camp. Everyone is passionate about giving children the best start in life and it’s a sad reality that some young people don’t get the same chances as others, through no fault of their own.
“Having a holiday is so important for children but it’s something that not every family can manage to provide – for whatever reason. Derby Kids’ Camp is doing such a great job in helping hundreds of children each year to get a week’s break and we were really happy to be able to help out.”
