We are delighted to have been selected by a neighbouring architectural practice to be their Charity of the Year for 2024.
The award-winning practice, Formation Architects, are based in Oval and will support World Heart Beat throughout the year, arranging several different fundraising schemes over the period to achieve their goals.
The partnership came about following several visits by the architects to our Embassy Gardens venue, both for concerts and meetings, and will help bring much-needed funds to support our charity’s work.
Formation employees are able to donate directly to World Heart Beat via their payroll giving scheme, managed by the Charities Trust, as well as them working closely with us on the year-long campaign which will encompass individual giving, race sponsorships and much more.
We’re so happy to have been selected by our neighbours, helping us with our goals to reach into the Nine Elms community.
Formation Architects is an award-winning architectural practice working in four main sectors: residential, commercial offices, hotels and masterplanning. They are residential experts, and work on the full range from affordable housing through to mainstream developer work, as well as the prime and super-prime bespoke homes. They offer both design and delivery.
Formation Architects are a 100% Employee-Owned Trust. Formation Community is the employee-led social responsibility output at Formation Architects. It seeks to understand and influence how Formation Architects as a business, can remain aware of its impact on its employees, the community, and the environment. Structured around five key strands: community outreach, fundraising, sports, sustainability and wellbeing. These strands help create a structure, but their scope is not limited and actions may interlink between strands.
Formation Architects won the Heart of the City Award at the Lord Mayor’s Dragon Awards in 2019 and were shortlisted for the Social Impact Dragon Award in 2023. Most recently, they were awarded the ‘Achievement’ Level in the Mayor’s Good Work Standards for having an ethical business, with fair pay, workplace wellbeing focussed, providing skills and progression, and diversity and recruitment.
