Specialist financial services group Ecclesiastical has announced its "strong" business performance has allowed it to donate a staggering £23.5m to charity during 2014.
This follows a further recent grant of £7m and reflects the company's strong business performance in 2014.
The donation is another significant step towards the company's ambitious goal of giving £50m to charity over three years, launched in January 2014.
Mark Hews, Ecclesiastical's group chief executive, said: "I'm delighted that our strong performance in 2014 has enabled us to make yet another sizeable grant for onward distribution to great charitable causes across the UK.
"Our total giving over the past twelve months is over £23m so we are now well on our way to achieving the ambitious £50m charitable giving goal we set ourselves early last year.
"This is a fantastic achievement and one that all our employees, customers and business partners should feel proud of.
"It comes as a result of exceptional commitment from all our staff throughout the year and the continued support from all our customers, brokers and business partners in the UK and overseas.
"On behalf of the company and all our charitable beneficiaries, I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all our supporters for helping us give back so much.
"As we build momentum into 2015, I would also like to invite others to join us on our journey to help develop and grow our unique company and support us in achieving this worthwhile £50m goal."
The company has also announced this week that it is planning to launch an innovative and ambitious Corporate Responsibility (CR) programme in 2015.
The new programme, titled Greater Giving Programme will see the company's CR activities brought under one umbrella and increased across all Group companies and international territories from 2015. Further detail on the programme will follow in spring.
