Local digital inkjet technology group, Xaar is inviting registered charities to apply for its next official charity partnership, starting in April 2026.
Xaar Group, whose headquarters are based in Waterbeach, Cambridge, with sites in Huntingdon and Kettering, has been pioneering inkjet printing technology for over 35 years. But beyond its industrial innovation, the company is passionate about giving back to its local community, driven by its ESG Roadmap.
Now, the business is looking for a new long-term charity partner from next April. The chosen organisation will benefit from a two-year partnership, including match funding of up to £10,000 per year, through employee-led fundraising and volunteering. Eligible charities must be registered, provide transparent impact reporting, and focus on causes that benefit the local community, particularly in East Anglia. Priority areas include education and skills development in science and engineering, or support for disadvantaged groups such as the elderly, disabled, homeless or families in crisis.
Since 2022, Xaar has proudly partnered with Break, a charity supporting young people in and leaving care. Together, over £100,000 has been raised through fundraising, match funding and volunteering – ranging from skydives and marathons to gardening at children’s care homes in the region. In 2025, Xaar expanded its approach to support multiple charities across its UK sites, while continuing its commitment to Break.
Building on this success and continuing Xaar’s active engagement with its local communities, applications to become the next charity partner are open until 30th September.
Interested charities should email info@xaar.com with no more than 250 words about their mission, engagement opportunities and why they would be the perfect fit for Xaar, alongside their impact report.
The successful charity will be chosen through an employee vote.
