Corporate Social Responsibility
At Ralli we are aware that we do not exist in isolation. We are aware of the communities we live and work amongst and the wider environment.
We recycle our waste paper and aim to minimise the amount of paper we use by use of advanced IT systems. We endeavour to reduce electricity use by switching off all appliances including standbys. We know that we have more to do.
We support local charities, such as BASIC (Brain and Spinal Injuries Charity based in Manchester). In recent years the partners have made generous Gift Aid donations to national and local charities such as Francis House Childrens Hospice.
We encourage and support our staff to get involved in charitable activities. In the past few years our people have run, swam, walked, climbed, rowed and dressed up for a range of local organisations.

New Client Coordinator Debra Kirwan and PR & Marketing Manager Gillian Nuttall recently tackled the 3 peaks challenge, climbing the highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales. These are Scafell Pike, Ben Nevis and Snowdon respectively.
Gillian was initially not set to take part in the walk but soon took on Snowdon, as well as helping drive the team to each destination.
As a team they raised just over £1,000. Every penny raised goes directly to the Malignant Melanoma Research Fund at the Christie Hospital.
Managing Partner Martin Coyne said, "We are very pleased and proud to be able to support Gill and Debra and the efforts they are making for Dr Lorigan and his team. This is such a worthwhile cause and Ralli are in full support of Factor 50"
Following the tragic death of Jon Herron to Malignant Melanoma, close friend Gillian Nuttall became determined in her efforts to help others with the disease and took over Dr Paul Lorigan's Malignant Melanoma Research Fund, renaming it Factor 50.
The fundraising group raises awareness of the importance of skin care and protection from the sun; and in addition raising much needed funds to bring a trial to the UK, currently only available in the USA.
Dr Lorigan, Lecturer in Medical Oncology at the Christie Hospital believes that such a trial can help develop and evaluate new treatments for the benefit of all patients with Melanoma.
