Wiseup support Procuary’s fundraising event
Wiseup is not only committed to giving back through our Pathfinder Programme initiatives, we are also keen supporters of events and initiatives with a social aspect. That’s why we’re incredibly proud to be supporting the upcoming Procuary 2025 event in London on 5th June — a free networking event for Procurement professionals that also serves a higher purpose: raising vital funds for Cancer Research UK and Samaritans.
The event will bring together procurement professionals from across the country, in a fun and energised environment. The ultimate goal of Procuary’s event is philantropy, with fundraising efforts set to make a tangible difference in people’s lives. The January event earlier this year raised over £6,000 for charity; this time, the goal is to surpass £10,000. So far, more than £5,800 has already been raised, and momentum is building. You can follow the progress and contribute via the official fundraising page on GiveWheel.
To help raise funds for this great cause, we’ve donated a unique auction prize that blends luxury with long-term impact:
- A luxury experience for two – including ‘View from The Shard’ tickets and a three-course meal with a cocktail at Marco Pierre White’s London Steakhouse Co, worth £200.
- Sponsorship of two student places (worth £3,000 + VAT) on our award-winning Pathfinder Programme for 16–17-year-olds in London. This includes full access to our immersive career readiness journey, delivered in partnership with employer hosts.
The sponsored students will gain real-world insight into the workplace, supported by trained mentors from our corporate partners. These aren’t just placements, they’re curated learning experiences designed to build confidence, capability, and clarity for young people navigating the transition from education to workplace.
Better yet, we’ll also provide feedback to the winning company on the students' experiences, helping them see the tangible impact of their support.
Why This Matters
As a social enterprise, Wiseup exists to reimagine how young people access the world of work. By equipping employees at partner companies to become mentors and role models, we ensure young people receive not just experience, but meaningful guidance before, during and after their time on their placement.
Supporting Procuary 2025 aligns with our mission perfectly: helping businesses connect with young people, all whilst creating life-changing opportunities for young people, and raising money for vital causes.
