At the start of every year, we take a company-wide vote to decide which of the many worthy organisations in our local area will be the Crick Software ‘charity of the year.’ We then spend the next 12 months undertaking all manner of fundraising to make as much money for them as we can!

This year, the team’s clear winner was The Lowdown – a mental health charity supporting young people in Northamptonshire.

The Lowdown provides free and confidential support services for 11- 25-year-olds in Northamptonshire and believes that no young person should ever experience mental health issues alone. They offer a caring environment where young people are always supported on their journey towards positive emotional health and wellbeing.

Last year, over 2000 young people were supported by the charity!

Crick Software has decided to take on a whole company challenge to walk, run or cycle 3000 miles in May. All funds raised will go directly to The Lowdown to support their work with young people in Northamptonshire.
