2020 has been tough for everyone. Especially small, local charities. As a proud London business, we want to give back to the communities and charities on our doorstep. We’re working together to donate time, energy and enthusiasm to help those who need it most.
Each of our seven teams has hand-picked a local charity close to The Argyll Club, and close to our hearts. We’re coming up with creative ways to support our chosen charities over the next few months. Everyone at The Argyll Club is committed to making a difference for the community we work and live in, and is excited to show our love for London.
The Mayfair (North) & Marylebone and Property Team are working with The Marylebone Project which supports female homeless and rough sleepers by organising a warm clothing collection and sponsored walk in January, which will run from The Argyll Club’s workspace at 20 North Audley Street to The Marylebone Project’s headquarters, passing monuments of inspirational women like Millicent Fawcett, Florence Nightingale and Virginia Woolf.
Support them via their JustGiving page.
The Victoria, Knightsbridge & Sales team are putting together an online cookbook and proceeds will go towards Doorstep Library in Belgravia, which delivers books to disadvantaged children and volunteers read to children.
