For every funeral plan sold through our website and by participating funeral directors, £25 is donated to the charities. In one year alone, we raised over £139,000 for the charities and we aim to build on this total during the second year of partnership.Golden Charter is also the longest standing corporate partner of the Woodland Trust, raising more than £1m for the woodland conservation charity over the duration of our partnership.Awards success• Glasgow Business Awards 2016, Excellence in Communications• s1 Recruitment Awards 2016, Best In-House Recruitment Team • The Sunday Times Virgin Fast Track 100 League Table, 2014 and 2015• Institute of Directors Awards 2015, Bank of Scotland Non-Executive Director of the Year Award, Magnus Swanson, Chairman of Golden Charter• Glasgow Business Awards 2014, Best Performing Business and Most Outstanding Business
