The UK asset finance and leasing community is on track to raise nearly £100,000 for 26 community good causes by the end of the year, thanks to the collective efforts of industry professionals, charity partners, and the AFPA Trust team. This milestone underscores the community’s commitment to making a positive impact beyond the business sphere.

A recent highlight in this philanthropic journey was an exclusive gathering of 130 industry leaders at Langan’s Private Members Club in London. The intimate setting was abuzz with conversation and camaraderie, reflecting the strong bonds within the sector. The event raised £10,000 for the Ambulance Staff Charity (TASC), showcasing the generosity of the asset finance community.
