Intern for Quintessentially Foundation

Dates: N/A - N/A

Type of position: Internship

Description of role:

The Quintessentially Foundation was established in June 2008, with the aim of improving the education, health and welfare of disadvantaged people and communities worldwide.

We will achieve this by supporting innovative charities that make measurable and sustainable improvements to people’s lives and opportunities.

For 2009, we are proud to be supporting four fantastic charities; SOS Children’s Villages, Room To Read, The Place2Be and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF).

At Quintessentially Foundation, we believe that that opportunity to ‘give something back’ should be as rewarding and invigorating as possible; not because we’re frivolous, but because we know that charities benefit most when their supporters are engaged and enjoying themselves.
