Our community
Everyone at PenLife cares deeply about giving something back to the causes that matter. From charities based in the York area doing vital work, to national organisations that mean something to us and our clients, we’re doing our bit for the greater good.

Charities we love
Since 2019, we’ve focused most of our fundraising efforts on one charity of the year at a time. This year, OSCAR’s has been chosen by the PenLife Team and our clients.
OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity is dedicated to supporting children with brain tumours and their families, raising awareness about childhood brain tumours, and funding research to reduce diagnosis times, improve survival rates, and enhance the quality of life for children during and after treatment.
The charity was established in memory of nine-year-old Oscar Hughes from York but aims to help any child across the country facing the challenges of living with a brain tumour.
It is driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact: to prevent other children from experiencing what Oscar endured.
Companies like ours can provide young people with an incredible introduction to the world of work. From time to time, we offer work experience opportunities for school children, as well as college and university students. Here’s what some of them had to say about their experience.
