Convergint colleagues took part in Convergint Social Responsibility Day on the 10th of June 2022. UK colleagues split during the day to work on projects in local areas. On one project, colleagues supported Helen & Douglas House, a local hospice for children and their families.
They provide round-the-clock care in a warm, loving environment. They are a comforting cocoon filled with laughter, a peaceful place where families can create happy memories in their last days, weeks, months, or years together.
Based in Oxford, but supporting families from surrounding counties and as far as London. Helen & Douglas House is the world’s first children’s hospice that cares for babies and children up to the age of 18. Parents, brothers, sisters, and grandparents are all part of the Helen & Douglas House family. At the toughest time of their lives, Helen & Douglas House gives families the time and space to enjoy the precious moments they have left with each other.
The team of 13 Convergint colleagues set out at the Eden Shopping Centre High in teams of 3-4 to fundraise for Helen and Douglas’s House.
About Convergint Social Responsibility Day
Convergint was built on a solid foundation of Values and Beliefs. These values and beliefs focus on Convergint’s commitment to customers, colleagues and their families, and communities. One of these values—“we believe in balanced lives”—supports Convergint’s belief that it is important for all colleagues to balance their time, energy, and commitments across families, business, and communities.

Convergint has created a culture of giving, a culture that is central to success as an organization. Not only does Convergint give to local communities all throughout the year, but Convergint also take it to the next level with a yearly Social Responsibility Day. Each year in June, Convergint shuts down operations for a full workday in order to allow colleagues to go into their communities and contribute to those in need.
