Supporting Sense to enrich lives of deafblind families
Penrose appreciates its ongoing relationship with Sense. Our employees genuinely enjoy and value Sense charity days, often feeling as if they have made a direct impact on deafblind people's day to day lives. Both Penrose and Sense share a focus on working in partnership with others and finding new avenues of communication, so our relationship is mutually beneficial, be it through networking or displaying corporate responsibility to our business associates and clients.

To celebrate Deafblind Awareness Week 2009 Penrose staff teamed up with employees from Wildnet (another Sense corporate supporter) to take part in the London to Paris Cycle challenge. Together they raised over £7,500 by completing the 300km from Bexley Heath to the Champs Elysees.
Penrose first began supporting Sense in 2006. Penrose staff began by volunteering at a Sense day centre and this support soon progressed to the sponsorship of the Sense in the City Ice Skate.
Penrose staff participate in Sense City events, have run marathons for us and regularly conduct fundraising sweepstakes in the office. Penrose also support Sense through the ‘Payback’ scheme, by donating an agreed sum of funds for each invoice paid by their clients within 28 days.
