Our Commitment
Our community-conscious commitment is embedded in our identity as well as our company mission. Find out how we are working to increase our positive social impact. With several exciting initiatives in the pipeline, we are grateful to work with several organisations in making a positive difference to the world and encourage others to be part of our journey.
Charity partnership
Emmaus supports formerly homeless people by giving them a home, meaningful work in a social enterprise and an opportunity to regain lost self-esteem to help rebuild their lives. There are currently 29 Emmaus communities across the country, supporting more than 800 companions (formerly homeless people) in the UK.
Emmaus communities deliver a significant return on investment. Research shows that for every £1 invested in a community, there is an £11 return, with savings to the benefits bill, health services and a reduction in crime re-offending.
Gradient are proud to be working closely with Emmaus Burnley, one of the 29 communities in the UK. So far we have donated over 170 hours of time which has gone to help Emmaus select a new provider of sales and logistics software. We have also donated office equipment and volunteered for the charity too.
Circus Starr
For several years Gradient have been donating tickets to Circus Starr, this act of kindness provides disabled, vulnerable and disadvantaged families with tickets to go and see a world class show. Make your ticket donations here.

Whether a child has a disability or comes from an abusive background, they are welcome to come to our circus show and make memories that they can cherish for a lifetime.
