Our Charity Work
Seventy Thirty is very much concerned about the world, people and animals. Our work is focused on making our clients happy but we also like to give something back to this amazing world. We treasure life, nature and our children. We are fortunate to be healthy and successful and we consider it a privilege to be able to help others. Below is a sample of some of the charities we support and a glimpse of some of the work we have undertaken with them so far. Please take some time out to read about these charities and their wonderful work.
We would like to say a big thank you to all the people who have helped us to raise money for various charities: our wonderful members and business associates as well as our friends and our husbands/partners.
War Child
Seventy Thirty is proud to support War Child, an international child protection agency that works with the most marginalised children - child soldiers, street kids and children in prison - in Iraq, Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda.

Action On Addiction
We have made a donation to Action on Addiction, the only independent UK research charity dedicated to seeking new ways to prevent and treat nicotine, alcohol and drug abuse.
Bottletop
Bottletop raises money through music and fashion to help promote sexual and reproductive health education worldwide.
“We have just completed an amazing 5-day journey
through picturesque France with a marvelous group of people. Rachel and I enjoyed our challenge and we managed to reach Monte Carlo in one piece! Raising money for
Bottletop was a pleasure and we hope they continue the
good work they are doing. We are looking forward to the
next Grand Tour.”
Susie Ambrose
Demelza
Seventy Thirty is proud to have donated money to Demelza, an organisation providing hospice care for children with life-limiting illnesses. We have shown our support at the Brands Hatch Ball and the HMS Victory dinner. Demelza is raising 6.5 million pounds to build South London's first residential children's hospice.
Teens Unite Fighting Cancer
Seventy Thirty donated money for Teens Unite Fighting Cancer and in return we have been given a Director's Box for one game at the Emirates Stadium to entertain our partners, associates and friends.
New York Marathon
Rachel has run the New York Marathon for 21st Century Kids - a charity for underprivileged children - and the Northern Ireland Chest Heart and Stroke Association. Well done!
Kenya Rift Valley Trek Charity Challenge
Seventy Thirty raised money for Scope, the disability organisation in England and Wales, whose focus is on helping individuals with cerebral palsy. The photo (left) shows Mike, our Business Development Director, on the 5th day of our trek!
Teenage Cancer Trust
Seventy Thirty also supported Frank Lampard's evening for the Teenage Cancer Trust at the Old Billingsgate. Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer.
Fostering
Seventy Thirty's CEO, Susie Ambrose, has been fostering underprivileged teenagers for over eight years. Her dedication to the youngsters is enormous and she experiences great pleasure by giving these teenagers a second chance in life. Susie takes on teenagers who
are affected by alcohol and drugs and by giving them love and affection she turns their lives around. All of her fostered children have completed 'A' levels and are attending university: one of them graduated in the summer of 2007. Susie is sponsoring their education and continues to provide them with much needed love and support.
