We are proud to announce that DAVSS (Domestic Abuse Volunteer Support Services) has been chosen as our firm’s Charity of the Year for 2026. Their work supporting victims of domestic abuse across West Kent is vital, compassionate and life‑changing, and we are honoured to stand alongside them throughout the year.
About DAVSS
DAVSS is an award‑winning, community‑based charity supporting any victims of domestic abuse, aged 16 years and above, in West Kent. They provide vital support to clients who have experienced domestic abuse. DAVSS volunteers, supported by their professional staff, listen without judging, answer calls to the helpline, provide telephone support or meet clients face to face, prepare individual bespoke safety plans, support clients in court if needed, and help them begin to rebuild their lives.
As a firm, we believe strongly in supporting our local community and championing organisations whose values align with our own. DAVSS is dedicated to protecting individuals, restoring confidence and empowering people to rebuild their lives. Throughout 2026, our team will be taking part in a wide range of fundraising activities and events to help raise as much money and awareness as possible for this incredible charity and the essential services they provide.

In previous years we have supported other local and deserving charities including; Last Chance Animal Rescue, Papyrus Prevention of Young Suicide, a charity dedicated to the prevention of suicide and the promotion of positive mental health and emotional wellbeing in young people; Taylor-Made Dreams, a charity which enables children with life-limiting illnesses to achieve their dreams; Porchlight, Kent’s largest charity for homeless, vulnerable and isolated people; Hospice in the Weald which provides compassionate, holistic and supportive care for people with a terminal illness, their families and carers across West Kent and East Sussex and the 3H Foundation, a local charity which runs holidays and day trips for disabled people and enables carers to have respite.
As a business, we have been part of the West Kent community for over 270 years. It is very important to us that we give back and are passionate that we are an integrated part of the community. Here are just some of the things we have been involved in recently:
We are proud to be a long-standing Corporate Partner of Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells. Trinity Theatre is a vital community hub, offering outreach projects for local schools and community groups as well as running an ambitious programme of events and activities each year. We are also pleased to be an Associate Member of The Oast Theatre in Tonbridge.
We are a proud supporter of the annual Tunbridge Wells music festival, Local & Live in Tunbridge Wells. This four day, free music festival supports and showcases local grassroots music and is a highlight in the annual events calendar. We have also supported the Tunbridge Wells Fringe Festival. This two week festival featured local artists, performers and groups offering a host of events across the arts, performing in a wide range of venues across Tunbridge Wells.
We are a regular sponsor of the Sevenoaks Summer Festival as well as Sevenoaks Indoor Bowls Club and the Sevenoaks Town Business Show.
The Paddock Wood Summer Carnival is well attended by local residents and those further afield and we are proud to sponsor this event annually. We are also the shirt sponsor of Paddock Wood Bowls Club and very much enjoy our traditional annual roll-up with their members!
In addition to supporting local community events, we have also supported a number of local schools, sports teams and individuals as well as sponsoring local radio.
