Community Engagement
The Equistone team has a long history of community engagement. Consistent with Equistone’s locally adapted model, charitable support and engagement are tailored in each geography. In practice, this means that we partner with a number of non-profit organisations across Europe, either through our local charity initiatives or through individual efforts.
A selection of organisations Equistone has supported:
