Reply from KIM Inspire

Dear Jonathan, Anna and Ten-Percent Foundation Trustees –
Just to say a massive thank you from all at KIM for your support to make Friday’s trip to Chester Zoo a reality.
In total we attended with 65 clients, who came from Holywell, Prestatyn and Wrexham
The feedback was incredibly positive with people saying they had wanted to go to the zoo for years, they’d had the best day and enjoyed every moment.

What is this all about?

Ten-Percent Legal, Interim Lawyers and Jonathan Fagan Business Brokers donate 10% of annual net profits to charity via the Ten Percent Foundation, a charitable trust set up by our group of companies to distribute monies to charities in the UK and Africa. We have been doing this for over 20 years. The Foundation never incurs any administration costs (other than Triodos bank charges, which are minimal). All monies donated are distributed to charities and community organisations.

Why do we donate?

We set up our companies over 20 years ago intending to be ethical in everything we do. As part of this, we decided that a percentage of our profits should always be earmarked for charitable work and set the rate at ten percent. A sudden burst of inspiration meant we called ourselves the Ten Percent Group.

Nominations 2024

We received over 60 charity nominations from academic clients, business clients, locums, solicitors, transcribers (via our sister company TP Transcription Limited) and staff. We have a strict list of criteria concerning our donation, available on the Ten Percent Foundation website. Donations tend to be within the range of £500-£2000 per charity per year. However, in the past, we have supported charities over a period of 5 years with donations going towards specific ongoing projects. We will publish the list of charities we are donating to in 2024 shortly. It includes KIM Inspire.
