Baines Jewitt supports a number of worthwhile individuals, teams, causes and activities in the community – all are close to our hearts and have links to our local area.
Aimee Willmott
Aimee Willmott
We have been a corporate sponsor and business adviser to Middlesbrough-born competitive swimmer Aimee Willmott since 2016. Everyone at Baines Jewitt was therefore thrilled to share Aimee’s Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games success, where she was crowned Women’s 400m Individual Medley Champion. We are also delighted that Aimee is an athlete representative on the board of Commonwealth Games England as the team builds for a home Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in 2022.
A Theatre Trip for Every Child
A Theatre Trip for Every Child
Baines Jewitt is proud to support Stockton arts centre ARC’s charitable giving scheme, ‘A Theatre Trip for Every Child.’ The scheme aims to give every five year old child in Stockton the chance to experience live theatre – for most, it is their very first trip to the theatre.
Careers Events
Careers Events
Our team enjoy getting out and about to inspire the next generation of professional accountants. This includes our trainee chartered accountant Grace as well as Ashleigh, our award-winning chartered accountant and qualified tax professional. Both women attended Teesside High School’s careers convention recently to talk to young people, their families and the wider community about progression and possible next steps after school, college or university.
Employee Fundraising
Employee Fundraising
Our employees like to do their own bit for charity and regularly raise money for worthwhile causes. As well as organising bake sales, an annual ‘Christmas Jumper Day’ and office raffles, several of our team, including Ashleigh, Gail, Lori and Janet, have taken part in major charitable sporting events such as the Great North Run.
Salvation Project
Salvation Project
Angela kindly co-ordinated donations from Baines Jewitt employees for the Salvation Project’s Hamper Appeal. The Salvation Project is a non-profit group set up to help the homeless and less fortunate in and around the Thornaby and Stockton-on-Tees area.
Stockton Town Yellows Football
Stockton Town Yellows Football
We enjoyed supporting one of our local grass roots youth football teams – Stockton Town Yellows – for the Under-15 and Under-16 seasons. As well as some fantastic footballing achievements, the team flew the flag for Baines Jewitt thanks to our company name printed on their football shirts.
Teesside Music Society
Teesside Music Society
We regularly support the cultural life of our community, such as sponsorship of concerts organised by Teesside Music Society. This includes an upcoming performance by North8, a dynamic vocal ensemble based in the North of England. Founded in 2018, the group acts as a creative space for professional and talented singers to develop their craft within a high-quality vocal ensemble.
Stockton Cricket Club
Stockton Cricket Club
Baines Jewitt is a proud corporate sponsor of Stockton Cricket Club. We were therefore delighted when Stockton’s first eleven gained a well-earned promotion to Division 1. The team got off to a great start this season, with new professional signing Himanshu Mantri scoring 104 not out!
