Not long after Brett Wigdortz established Teach First, Deloitte
engaged in doing what we do best. We used our skills and
capabilities to support the organisation's growth and
established a relationship that is now over 10 years old and which
in my view sets the standard for the many charity partners we have
established since.
In the early days we provided accountancy support to help get
the charity up and running and one of our audit partners, Sarah
Shillingford, remains a Trustee today. Our initial
relationship was through graduate recruitment and we worked with
Teach First to interview potential graduates who would teach for
two years and then join Deloitte's graduate programme.
Over time the relationship has grown and evolved.
