A Decade of Impact Together

Ten years ago this week we supported our first Saints Foundation matchday.
Last weekend we were back at St Mary’s Stadium again - and the room delivered something special.
Two fantastic events - the Taylor Wimpey plc Charity Evening and the annual Saints Foundation Charity Dinner.
Across the two evenings, the EXCEED GIVING team helped generate around £300,000 of vital funds to support the Foundation’s incredible work in the community.
For me personally, the weekend marked almost 10 years to the day since my team and I first supported Saints Foundation at a Premier League fixture against Chelsea Football Club.
That day we produced fundraising numbers - and levels of unrestricted funding - they had never seen before from a matchday auction.
What started as a single matchday has grown into a decade-long partnership. Across that time we’ve supported more than 30 fundraising events at St Mary’s, and importantly have never charged the Foundation a penny for our services.
Over time we’ve helped shape a hashtag#MatchdayFundraising model that continues to unlock significant unrestricted funding for the Foundation and the communities it serves.
A decade on, the partnership is stronger than ever and the impact continues to grow.
The events were masterfully hosted by Kenzie Benali and Aaron James.
Great to see friend of the business James Haskell as special guest - and epic after-party DJ.
