[Olympia London](https://olympia.london/) has chosen the [Barons Court Project](https://www.baronscourtproject.org/)
as its charity of the year. As part of its sustainability policy, The Grand Plan,
the venue elects a charity to support, fundraise and participate in corporate volunteering
for the year, with announcements taking place during summer. Past charities of the
year have included Honeypot and Maggie’s Centre. In addition to fundraising for 
the nominated charities, Olympia London engages in practical help, including encouraging
staff to engage during company time through the company’s Staff Volunteering Days
scheme.
