At Commercial Property Advisors (CPA), we are proud to support Stand Against Racism and Inequality (SARI) in their annual BIG GIVE Campaign, running from 3rd to 10th December 2024. This vital initiative raises funds to sustain SARI’s free and confidential hate crime support services across Avon and Somerset.
The BIG GIVE is a national fundraising event that doubles the impact of every donation through match funding. Thanks to pledges from generous supporters, including CPA, every pound donated during the campaign week will be matched—up to a total of £3,700.
Our support of SARI stems from shared values of equality, inclusion, and community support. Inspired by the legacy of Roy Hackett, a civil rights hero who played a pivotal role in the Bristol Bus Boycott—a campaign that abolished racial discrimination in local bus employment—we are committed to celebrating his impact and advancing social justice.
Through SARI, we connected with Whitehall Primary School, a diverse and vibrant institution located in a community facing moderate social deprivation. For the past two years, CPA has proudly sponsored an arts and poetry competition at the school, highlighting themes of diversity, inclusion, and social justice. To further support their educational goals, we donated Chromebook devices, enhancing learning opportunities for students and staff.
David Tanswell, CPA’s CEO, shares:“Few things are as rewarding as seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as they present their work inspired by the Bristol Bus Boycott. Our team at CPA thoroughly enjoys judging these creative and meaningful entries.”
On CPA’s involvement in this year’s BIG GIVE Campaign, David continues: "In a time of increasing social challenges, initiatives like the BIG GIVE are critical. They help support isolated and vulnerable individuals. We are honoured to contribute to SARI’s mission and encourage everyone to join us in making a tangible difference.”
