All philanthropic initiatives at RWS have been consolidated
under the new RWS Foundation. Donations by RWS and
the RWS Foundation this year amounted to £300,553.
Upon outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict our
Regulated Industries division partnered with long-term
customer St Jude Children’s Research Hospital to help
support the evacuation efforts of more than 600 children
with cancer from Ukraine. The US-headquartered hospital
needed translations between English, Ukrainian and Polish
within a timeframe of just a few hours to provide patients
with important documents prior to travel into Poland.
Our colleagues, through the RWS Foundation Ukraine
Appeal, showed overwhelming support and raised over
£34,000. Donations went to the International Red Cross,
which is supporting the people of Ukraine to ensure they
have essential supplies, food, water, as well as providing
aid to hospitals and families. The RWS Foundation also
made further donations to the UNHCR, the UN’s refugee
agency, and to UNICEF, the UN’s children’s fund.

During FY22 we also assisted Clear Global (formerly
Translators without Borders) with localising Polish and
Slovak into Ukrainian. We are in regular communication
with them on several topics, including our availability
to provide training around translation processes and
machine translation and have colleagues ready and
waiting to volunteer their time and expertise.
Two areas of community outreach in the UK include
TutorMate and Urban Synergy. Colleagues from across
the UK were involved in TutorMate, assisting Year 1 or
Year 2 (aged 5 to 7) pupils attending a school that serves a
disadvantaged community in England. Teachers selected
readers who were struggling and needed extra help.
The reading programme involved 30 minute one-to-one
weekly online sessions. RWS supported 26 children with
189 hours of reading support, resulting in the average
child progress of 3.2 reading levels.
Over the past year we have continued to support Urban
Synergy. The organisation is a youth empowerment
charity that inspires, guides and ignites the ambitions
of young people in the UK. It has supported more than
20,000 students since 2007. In FY22 we mentored 125
students through our e-mentoring and delivered 84 work
experience placements (totalling 3,259 hours of work
experience for young people).
