Local Success Story

3RS IT Solutions Launches Search for Charity of the Year 2025 to Support Local Children

In an inspiring demonstration of its commitment to the local community, 3RS IT Solutions, an IT consultancy based in Wellingborough, has launched a search for its Charity of the Year 2025. The initiative aims to support a Northamptonshire children’s charity, continuing the company’s dedication to making a difference for a second consecutive year.

Founded by Leila and Steve Souch, parents of three young children, 3RS IT Solutions has a deeply personal connection to its charitable efforts. Their son Reuben, who is living with autism, inspires their fundraising work. Leila Souch, marketing director, explained, “Reuben has taught us the value of support networks and the incredible impact charities can have on families. We are committed to partnering with a children’s charity that helps those with life-limiting illnesses.”

The chosen charity will benefit from fundraising and awareness campaigns and receive practical support in IT and marketing—a reflection of 3RS IT Solutions’ expertise and dedication to empowering local organisations. “We’ve seen how rising costs impact vital services,” Leila added. “As parents, we understand the importance of these charities, and we want to play our part in ensuring their work continues to help families in need.”

Starting in January 2025, the year-long partnership will see 3RS IT Solutions actively engage in volunteering, organising events, and running campaigns to raise both funds and awareness. The company’s holistic approach to support underscores its mission to uplift the community and address pressing challenges local charities face.

Charities interested in being considered for this partnership are encouraged to apply by emailing [email protected] before the closing date of 31st December 2024. The selection process will ensure the chosen charity aligns closely with 3RS IT Solutions’ vision of making a tangible difference to children and families across Northamptonshire.

Leila concluded, “We’re looking forward to meeting incredible charities who work tirelessly to support children and their families. Together, we can create lasting impact and bring hope to those who need it most.”
