A Scottish-based ID verification and onboarding services provider has donated £35,000 to Scottish Refugee Council (SRC) through various charity initiatives as part of its aim to raise over £100,000.
Members of the Amiqus team have been fundraising at the SRC Spring Ceilidh in Glasgow in April, successfully raising over £9,000, and have taken part for the second year in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival 2024, hosted just last week (25th of May), collectively covering over 100 miles in support of the SRC.
The business has set out to raise over £100,000 for Scottish Refugee Council from 2023 to 2025. The £35,000 donated is as a result of fundraising activities in 2023.
Commenting on their partnership with SRC, Callum Murray, founding CEO at Amiqus said,
“We’re now one year into our partnership with the Scottish Refugee Council, supporting the vital work they do across the country. Their front-line support services provide help and direction for people as they move from a position of danger and desperation to a safe place they can settle, call home and rebuild their lives, integrated with local communities.
Working together with a shared purpose, we’re developing the means to make sure Amiqus enables access to legal help, financial services and pathways into employment for people who need it most. Speaking on behalf of our board and everyone at Amiqus, we’re committed to playing our part for the long run and making an outsized impact on the SRC’s long-term objectives as we continue to sustainably scale Amiqus as one of the fastest-growing tech businesses in the UK.”
Dr Sabir Zazai (OBE, FRSE), Chief Executive at the Scottish Refugee Council added,
“We are honoured to work in partnership with Amiqus who have passionately been supporting our work for over a year now. Through supporting our Leadership programme with laptops, completing marathons, to sponsoring our fundraising events, Amiqus have been instrumental in helping us achieve our aims.
We have a great relationship with the team, and we are already looking forward to working with Amiqus on their future fundraising and their upcoming initiatives which will support people as they seek to make a new life for themselves in Scotland.”
Amiqus invites individuals and organisations alike to contribute to their fundraiser and join them in supporting the SRC’s invaluable work. Donations can be made via JustGiving. For more information and to donate, visit https://www.justgiving.com/page/amiqus-resolution-1710926606519
