Like most people we come across, our lives haven't always been easy and at times we've needed the help and support of some amazing people and organisations to pull us through some of these really challenging periods. 

We have therefore baked into our business model a means of being able to give something back - to both promote and support some of these organisations and help ensure they can keep doing the brilliant and often "hidden" work that they do. 

At the end of each financial year we commit to sharing at least 5% of PortfolioXD's profits with charities that have had a positive impact on our lives. 

To support these organisations who are close to our heart, we also each commit to volunteer 2 days of our time to support them throughout the year. 

If you'd like to do something similar with your time, we've created a new Linkedin group Just One Hour...to give something back. Have a look https://www.linkedin.com/groups/8425605/ and see if this might be something you can do on a personal and localised basis.
