OP has announced its latest quarterly charity initiative supporting The Brain Charity as part of the company's commitment to giving back to the community.

The Brain Charity is the UK's leading national neurological charity, providing practical help, emotional support and social activities to anyone with a neurological condition. The charity supports people affected by over 600 different neurological conditions, from the more common such as Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, brain tumours and epilepsy to the very rare such as trigeminal neuralgia, Alice in Wonderland syndrome and Huntington's disease.

OP is focusing its charitable efforts for quarter 3 on raising awareness and funds for The Brain Charity's vital work. The charity provides essential services including information and advice, emotional support, therapy services, and social activities that help reduce isolation and improve quality of life for those affected by neurological conditions.

We're proud to support an organisation that makes such a meaningful difference in the lives of people facing neurological challenges. Their comprehensive approach to support aligns perfectly with our values of caring for our community's wellbeing.

Iyna Fiaz, Group People Director

Mission in-steppable kicks off Q3 fundraisingg

To kick things off, OP is launching Mission In-Steppable, a company-wide step challenge running for 4 weeks. The ambitious goal is for participants to achieve an average of 8,000 steps per day throughout the challenge period.

This initiative will be the first of several awareness-raising activities planned throughout the quarter, designed to engage OP staff while supporting The Brain Charity's mission. The step challenge encourages physical activity and team building while raising funds and awareness for neurological health.

Additional fundraising events and activities will be announced throughout the quarter. These charity events will be shared on OP's social media channels, allowing supporters to follow the company's fundraising journey and learn more about The Brain Charity's impact.

Mission In-Steppable represents everything we value at OP - teamwork, wellness, and community support. We're excited to see our teams come together for such an important cause while promoting healthy habits in the workplace.

How you can help

OP has established a JustGiving page where anyone can make donations to support this worthy cause. The company encourages staff, clients, and partners to share the fundraising page with their networks to help maximise support for The Brain Charity's essential work.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference in supporting individuals and families affected by neurological conditions.

Follow OP's social media channels for updates on Mission In-Steppable progress, upcoming fundraising events, and to see how your donations are making an impact in the neurological community.

The Brain Charity Donations

On behalf of our clients, volunteers and staff, we want to thank OP for choosing to support The Brain Charity for their current quarterly charity initiative! OP's commitment to raising awareness of neurodivergence in the workplace and their resources on designing neurodivergent friendly offices demonstrate that their values are aligned with our own. The funds they raise throughout the quarter will support people living with all forms of neurodivergence and neurological conditions by funding our services offering practical advice, emotional support and social activities.
