Corporate Social Responsibility

Our local community

Football Fives

At BDO NI our football team is more than just a group of colleagues on the pitch—it's a key part of our vibrant sport and social culture. The team brings employees together across departments, promoting teamwork, wellbeing, and a little healthy competition. Beyond the game, we regularly participate in charity tournaments and fundraising events, using sport as a way to give back to the community. Whether we're playing to win or playing for a cause, the football team reflects our values of unity, energy, and social responsibility.

Our nominated charity

Every two years our CSR committee announces their support of one charity around which the fund raising activities during this time will focus. We have now announced our new charity partner, reinforcing a strategic focus in being a responsible business, both in how we work with our clients and how we contribute to the wider community. Cancer Fund for Children support children and young people impacted by cancer across the island of Ireland. Whether at home, in the community, on the ward, or at Daisy Lodge, their vision is that no child should face cancer alone.

Recognising the importance of this service and the wide-reaching impacts of the work this charity does, BDO have committed to a 2-year partnership, in which the team will fundraise through a series of events and challenges with the target set at £20,000.
