GAP Hire Solutions is celebrating a major milestone after revealing its charitable foundation, GAP Giving, has surpassed £1 million in donations across the UK.
Since its inception in 2015, GAP Giving has contributed £1,122,553, benefiting over 1,000 charities ranging from national organisations through to smaller, local charities.
Established in 1969 by Gordon Anderson, GAP Hire Solutions has long upheld a culture of giving back to local communities. In 2025, the company celebrates the 10th anniversary of GAP Giving, an initiative through which it donates 0.5% of its annual profits to charities chosen by its employees.
Douglas Anderson, joint MD, said, “Giving back to the community is something that has always been very important to GAP. It’s the reason why we introduced GAP Giving and all of our employees are encouraged to participate by nominating a charity that is close to their heart.”
GAP Hire Solutions empowers its 2,000+ employees to take an active role in charitable giving. Every employee is entitled to take up to one day away from work to volunteer at local charities and community initiatives. And team members are encouraged to nominate charities that have made a meaningful impact on their lives.
Additionally, GAP Giving’s ‘Charity of the Month’ scheme enables each region, division, and head office department to select a charity to receive a £1,000 donation. Furthermore, through the GAP Match initiative, the company matches funds raised by employees in sponsored events, up to £1,500.
