Kingsfleet Wealth has been announced as a sponsor of the Big Hoot 2022, an art trail organised by St Elizabeth Hospice in Ipswich.
Following up on the success of previous trails, St Elizabeth will place 40 individually designed Big Hoot owls placed around Ipswich.
Each owl will be sponsored by a local business in a bid to raise funds that will allow St Elizabeth Hospice to provide care and support to those living with life-limiting or progressive illness.
"The Big and Little Hoots will attract thousands of local families, residents and visitors to Ipswich and in turn contribute financial benefits to the local economy," St Elizabeth Hospice wrote on its website.
"Thank you for your support and we look forward to seeing you on the trail."
Established in 2010, Kingsfleet Wealth is an independent financial advice and wealth management company based just outside Ipswich and managing director Colin Low described sponsoring the Big Hoot as a "pleasure" given the "great work" conducted by St Elizabeth Hospice.
"We have always had an objective of serving local community and charitable causes, so it is a great pleasure to be taking part in the Big Hoot as part of our support for the great work of St Elizabeth Hospice," he said.
"We’re really delighted to be part of the Big Hoot with St Elizabeth Hospice in 2022," he added on LinkedIn.
Playing an active role within the local community is important to the team at Kingsfleet Wealth, something that Low discussed in his recent contribution to The Parliamentary Review.
Low believes that by helping others within the community, the business will not alienate the very people they are hoping to help.
"Although we have clients nationwide, we maintain our roots in Suffolk," he wrote.
"The business is named after the primary school I attended, and since our inception eight years ago, we have sought to deliver a social benefit as well as a profitable client-focused business. We do this by supporting educational causes in Suffolk, as well as taking every possible opportunity to provide financial education through the mainstream media.
"I am particularly struck by the number of water fountains that we see around our towns and cities, and it is testament to the philanthropic nature of, mainly, 19th-century business people that they wanted to assist those who were unable to afford their own water supply in having fresh, clean drinking water without cost.
"We believe it is time for all of us to realise that if our businesses are merely perceived as being self-serving and profit-focused, then we will alienate the very individuals who can be our future customers and clients. While this is not the main motivator behind our philanthropy, it is good to see that potential clients see us valuing more than profit alone."
