**Workplace design company Burtt-Jones & Brewer is marking its 10th anniversary 
by offering £10,000 of its time to one small to medium-sized charity in London.**

The agency has worked with a variety of clients from banks to brand agencies, lawyers
to lottery operators, insurers to investors, the Bank of England to The Treasury.

Now it aims to [give practical help](http://www.burtt-jonesandbrewer.com/news/2018/10/18/feature-competition-time-10k-for-ten)
to one charity, “to see how we can help you enhance your workplace”.

## Which charities should apply?

The company wants to work with a charity that is keen to make its workplace work
by exploring new working habits. It might be looking to:

 * Improve collaboration within the organisation
 * Increase productivity
 * Run a series of workshops to be aware of working in different ways
 * Learn about Biophilic design and how this can address issues like mental health
   and improve wellbeing in the workplace

The selected charity will be small to medium-sized with 40+ full-time staff. It 
will be based in Greater London and on the London underground or overland network.
It should also “be a little bit brave”.

The charity should be happy with BJ&B sharing the work it is undertaking and its
outputs in public through blogs and social media.

The charitable focus of the selected charity won’t be a criterion. How will it be
selected? The company’s announcement of the offer stated: “You could make us laugh,
cry or just be very honest in your response to us.”

 

## Now £13k on offer

Two other companies, Henigan Consulting Group and Sapio Research, have joined in
the offer, boosting the total available to £13,000:
