Our Nominated Charity

Maggie’s Caring Centre in Cheltenham is a place to turn to for help with any of the problems, small or large, associated with cancer.
Under one roof you can access help with information, benefits advice, psychological support both individually and in groups, courses such as Tai Chi and Creative Writing as well as stress reducing strategies. You don’t have to make an appointment, or be referred and everything we offer is free of charge.
It is there for anybody who feels the need for help, which includes those who love and look after someone with cancer, who often feel as frightened and vulnerable as those who actually have the disease.
Due to advances in medical care, the number of people living with and beyond cancer is increasing, so the support available to them becomes ever more important.
The Cheltenham Maggie’s Centre is just minutes away from the oncology unit at Cheltenham General Hospital and was designed by Sir Richard McCormac. It is a beautiful building, sympathetic to the needs of individuals; plenty of light, beautiful oak and bright soft furnishings which all make for an uplifting and homely space. The Centre serves the 3 counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire where 35, 000 people are living with cancer.” –

Helping small and local businesses

Small businesses are the seeds of our economy and the lifeline of our local communities. We use only small businesses, preferably local, to provide services that Harbour Key relies upon. Like Harbour Key, client service and excellence is at their heart. Here are just some of the businesses we use;

Environmental Issues

As a business we use the latest IT solutions to work effectively, securely and efficiently. The additional benefit of our IT systems is the reduction of the amount of paper we use. Where paper documents are required which are to be destroyed, where possible, we recycle internally as note paper and then securely shred. We use a secure independent shredding service which recycles the shredded paper.
Where possible environmentally friendly products are sourced and used by the office, for example RainForest Alliance certified coffee, recycled paper for printing etc.
Meetings with clients are a primary focus and function of the business, where possible these meetings are held by telephone or video conference to minimise travel. Where travel is required, we look to use train if possible or arrange a number of meetings in one geographical area to minimise the impact of car use.
