      Our impact

      Our clients

      At KPMG in Bristol, we proudly work with organisations tackling social challenges that align with our purpose: to deliver impact that matters. We work closely with Gympanzees, a local charity which is opening a disability gymnasium for children, the first of its kind in the UK. This will be provide enjoyment for disabled children from across the whole of the UK. Another local charity we support, South Bristol Youth, support young people in some of the most economically challenged areas of the city. We support by delivering their programmes in our office and run mock interview sessions with young people. Their annual Christmas Campaign gives us an opportunity to engage colleagues to donate gifts for struggling families to enjoy at Christmas time. Other charities we support provide essentials for children living in poverty, giving parents dignity and easing the stress of daily life, while education programmes open doors for young people to build confidence and skills for the future. We offer support to these specific organisations because they reflect our firm's commitment to integrity, inclusion, and creating measurable change. Our involvement strives to amplify reach and accelerate progress to build stronger communities and a fairer society, which is why this work matters to us and to the people we serve.

      Our people

      Our Bristol office is proud of its strong community spirit. In 2025, 55% of our local team contributed to volunteering and fundraising, delivering an incredible 4,823 hours of support. From mentoring young people to helping charities save costs and expand services, our colleagues turn commitment into action.
