Our Commitment to Charity & Corporate Social Responsibility
At Commercial Express, we believe in doing business the right way — with heart, integrity, and purpose. Our commitment to charity and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a core part of who we are. It reflects our desire to make a genuine difference in the communities we serve and the industry we’re proud to be part of. Since 2023, our colleagues, partners, and supporters have helped us raise over £3,700 for a range of incredible causes — from supporting transplant athletes through the Birmingham Adult Transplant Sport Team, to backing our team members in their own personal fundraising journeys for charities such as Cancer Research UK and the Alzheimer’s Society.
Our efforts go beyond fundraising. We offer volunteer days to all employees, encourage matched funding to support personal giving, promote sustainability initiatives, and actively support industry-wide organisations such as The Insurance Charity, helping to raise awareness of the support available to those working in insurance. Together, we are building a stronger, more compassionate culture — one that supports our people, our communities, and our planet.
Charity Partner Birmingham Adult Transplant Sport Team
Commercial Express are proudly sponsoring the Birmingham Adult Transplant Sport Team as our Charity Partner.
This is a fantastic team of people made up of recipients of organ, stem cell or bone marrow transplants. Members range in age from 18 to over 80, all of whom have used sport to help their recovery after their transplants. Some of the members have even donated organs themselves.
Each year, the team participated in the British Transplant Games. For many, being at the games is a victory in itself. There are a whole range of events to participate in, with different levels of intensity of activity. Whilst participants are encouraged to compete with one another, the games are a perfect opportunity to enjoy being with friends, have fun and enjoy life.
The Birmingham Adult Transplant Sport Team has had a lot of success over the years, with some members even going on to represent Great Britain & Northern Ireland in the World and European Transplant Games.
We’ll be following this great team along their journey and keeping track of their progress on our social media channels LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Wishing the Birmingham Adult Transplant Sport Team huge success with your upcoming events this year!

Volunteer Days at Commercial Express
At Commercial Express, we believe in giving more than just money — we give our time, too. Our Volunteer Days programme empowers employees to step out of the office and into the community, making a direct, hands-on difference where it matters most.
Each member of our team is encouraged to take a fully paid day to volunteer with a charity or cause of their choice. Whether it’s supporting a local foodbank, helping out at an animal rescue centre, or lending a hand at a family support charity like Ronald McDonald House, these days are about giving back — and gaining perspective.
We work closely with a number of brilliant organisations including Trussell Trust Foodbank in Worcester, Black Country Foodbank in Brierley Hill, National Trust Kinver Edge, Forest Dog Rescue and more. Group activities and individual volunteering options are available, meaning our people can choose what matters most to them.
Our Volunteer Days not only benefit the community — they also help our team feel more connected, motivated, and proud of where they work. We regularly share stories from these days across our internal and external channels to celebrate the difference our people are making.
Volunteering is part of our culture, and we’re committed to growing our impact year on year. Because when our people get involved, incredible things happen.
Matched Funding: Doubling the Impact
At Commercial Express, we know that even the smallest acts of kindness can make a huge difference — and we’re here to help our people go even further. Our Matched Funding scheme is designed to support the fundraising efforts of our employees by matching the amount they raise for a registered charity, pound for pound.
Whether it’s a 5K charity run, a marathon, a sponsored challenge, or a personal fundraising campaign, we’re proud to stand behind the causes our team cares about. From Cancer Research UK to the Alzheimer’s Society, we’ve matched hundreds of pounds in donations — doubling the impact and boosting motivation.
Matched Funding is simple to access and open to all employees. It’s our way of saying: “We see your effort — and we’re with you.” Every story is celebrated internally and shared externally, helping to raise awareness for the charities involved and inspire others to take action.
In recent months, we’ve proudly supported team members taking on incredible challenges, including the Manchester Marathon and Race for Life, matching over £1,600 in donations. These initiatives don’t just raise money — they also raise our collective spirit and strengthen our sense of purpose as a business.
Matched Funding is a powerful way to show what we stand for. By supporting our people and the causes they love, we’re creating a culture of giving that goes beyond the workplace.
Our Charity Commitment
At Commercial Express, we’re passionate about giving back and supporting causes that make a real difference. Our team actively participates in developing, organising, and delivering a range of fundraising initiatives throughout the year. Whether it’s planning creative events, rallying support internally, or working with our charity partners to maximise impact, we’re always looking for meaningful ways to contribute.
Most recently, we hosted a charity auction that raised £500 for the Birmingham Adult Transplant Sport Team, helping them continue their vital work. Over the past two years, our fundraising efforts have generated an incredible £5,000 for a variety of charitable causes. From bake sales and themed events to sporting challenges and auctions, our people bring energy and enthusiasm to every initiative we take on — all with the shared goal of making a positive difference in the communities we serve.
