Volunteering in the UK

Volunteering in the UK

Baxter employees support many charities throughout the UK from providing donations to local food banks which provide food packages for those in need, to helping maintain the beautiful gardens for the charity Horatio’s Garden.

Employees are actively encouraged to give back in their local communities and provide help and assistance to benefit others. We are currently fundraising to pay for the advanced training of an assistance dog named Baxter, through the charity Canine Partners. Feedback from our employees always shows how rewarding this is for them all.

Baxter Employee Disaster Relief Programme

The Baxter Employee Disaster Relief Fund was created to help employees who are facing financial hardship from property damage following a natural disaster. The fund relies primarily on individual donations from Baxter colleagues. Baxter International Foundation provided seed funding and covers all administrative costs to allow 100% of employee donations to reach fellow colleagues.
