Employees at TransUnion in the UK, a global information and insights company, raised an impressive £44,812 for charity organisations in 2024.

Last year, TransUnion in the UK announced Andy’s Man Club as their Charity of the Year. The charity works to eliminate stigma around mental health by creating a judgement-free confidential space where men can be open about their challenges. The charity was chosen by the vast majority of colleagues as their charity of the year and TransUnion has decided to extend this support for Andy’s Man Club to continue spreading awareness and raising the much-needed funds throughout 2025.

Over the last 12 months, TransUnion colleagues have participated in a variety of fundraising activity, including the 26-mile Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge, a charity football tournament, sponsored Edale Skyline walk, charity bake sales and The Great North Run – all helping to raise the £44,812 grand total.

Although Andy’s Man Club is TransUnion’s charity of the year, colleagues are encouraged to support other causes that are close to their hearts too. Consequently, some of the proceeds also go towards other local charities and causes. TransUnion also offers colleagues three paid volunteering days per year, as part of their commitment to giving back to local communities.

Kaushik Gopalan, Chief Human Resources Officer at TransUnion in the UK, added: “We encourage employees to raise both awareness and funds for charities and causes close to their hearts. We’re proud to say that more than 226 colleagues have used almost 2,000 volunteering hours in 2024 to support their volunteering and fundraising efforts.

“At TransUnion, we remain committed to prioritising the well-being of our employees. Mental health is a fundamental part of overall well-being; through our work with Andy’s Man Club, we’ve been able to further our internal education and encourage normalising difficult conversation. Building awareness for mental health and prioritising wellness in the workplace is something we are dedicated to year long. Alongside our fundraising efforts, we have been proactive to ensure our colleagues are aware of the support available to them by hosting a number of in-person or virtual sessions in both our Leeds and London offices.”
