Professional services firm PwC Bermuda has donated more than $21,000 to 28 local charitable organisations as part of employee-led holiday giving initiatives.

The firm said employees volunteered at feeding programmes and other charitable organisations earlier this month, and donated gift vouchers from the firm, given in lieu of the annual holiday party, to local charities of their choice.

A spokeswoman added that the firm’s partners matched these donations, and made a further donation to three charities “doing incredible work assisting our community by helping those most at risk and in need”.

Scott Watson-Brown, PwC Bermuda partner, said: “We are proud of our people and grateful to them for supporting so many great causes this holiday season.”

He added: “It has been an extremely challenging year and we at PwC extend our sincere gratitude to the community organisations in Bermuda working so tirelessly through it all to help those in need.”
