Balens are proud to announce a new charitable initiative, with the aim of supporting the Health and Well-being sector. 

David Balen explains, "At a time when non-evidence based approaches to Health and Self-care are being undermined by corporate science organisations and politically or ideologically driven lobbying groups, I wanted to lend more support to the main sector we are in.  Non-medical approaches to healthcare and lifestyle have helped me personally and Balens, as an organisation, has benefitted over the years from servicing this sector. 

We, also wanted a much wider remit than this, to help projects concerned with the wellbeing of society whether spiritual, ecological, emotional or physical, and also for initiatives or appeals that may arise in our local or national community.  We hope over time, that our small charity may help in its own way to fund many worthy causes."

We are just waiting for the applications to go through for the Balens Charitable Trust and we are hoping that it should all be in place by May 2012, we will then offer grants and partnerships. The trustee group will include a Balens employee trustee as a sign of our continuing desire to involve and engage our employees, recognising that many of them already contribute in their communities and inspiring others to follow their example.  Further details will be available on launch.
