MHM Charitable Trust

The MHM Charitable Trust was set up in 2013 to bring together the range of charitable activities being conducted across the company. Money raised for the Trust is distributed to good causes, which fall into two groups: “Do The Right Thing” and “Other Causes”.

My Home Move Ltd is passionate about giving back to the community and through internal fundraising programmes (Do The Right Thing), money is raised for 5 different organisations that help people dealing with homelessness.

Do The Right Thing

Do The Right Thing (DTRT) is the internal name given to the work that done for the good causes and charities that My Home Move staff support. DTRT grew from the personal passion of people, to be a force for good for those less fortunate than their selves. DTRT supports five good causes, all of which have had personal, as well as financial support from staff in various parts of My Home Move Ltd:

How the donations help

My Home Move Ltd have raised over £100,000 since launching the DTRT initiative.

A constant sum of money is sent each month to the Snehalaya Children’s Home in India giving stability to these vulnerable organisations. The money ensures that they always have electricity and running water and that the children always have food on the table.

Similarly, donations to the Bridge Homeless Shelter, the Hope Centre and the Mustard Tree help homeless people across Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Greater Manchester. The donations made assist these charities in being able to care for the well-being of homeless people that have nowhere else to go.

‘We are so grateful for the continuing support of the team at My Home Move, as a small local charity, we rely very heavily on donations like these.  Many of our clients (we see 120 people each day) are homeless, or have experienced homelessness, ALL are in poverty. The money raised through challenges such as the annual charity trek help us to provide hot drinks, food, clothing and showers, as well as activities such as our cookery club, and importantly a listening ear for those who are often ignored in the outside world.’  Sue Wright, Fundraiser, Northampton Hope Centre

Other causes

From time to time, My Home Move Ltd also supports charity events promoted by business partners, in particular Agents Giving (AG) which supports charities that provide help to the homeless and organisations that seek to address some of the causes of homelessness. Through a relationship with AG, My Home Move Ltd have ensured that the Bridge received additional grants.

My Home Move also encourage all employees to support other major days of national fundraising such as Comic Relief.
