TP Tokens is our charitable donations programme, allowing us to support up to five children and/or education charities every year.
The programme is highly engaging, allowing our working candidates to decide who they wish to support by donating a TP Token (earned every time they work ten days through us). At the end of each academic year, we convert the TP Tokens in each charity pot into cash donations.

Our staff regularly support their client schools at community events including school fêtes, galas, and prize-giving presentations. Known to our staff as the ‘MyDifference’ initiative, we are very proud of the work we do in this area.
We offer free presentations at primary and secondary schools, not only providing pupils with careers advice but also information on further education and training opportunities. These presentations often have workshop elements, helping students with interview skills and CV writing.
