We don’t just pay lip service…
We invest in developing our expertise and a number of our colleagues volunteer for various charities, giving them a deeper insight into the sector.
At Nicholsons, we are committed to helping charities excel at what they do best – helping others. We love to get involved. From dress down days to row-a-thons, to sponsored silences and cake baking, our team is happy to invest money, and time, to support our annual charity nominated by our colleagues.
