gcScholars The gunnercooke foundation together with gunnercooke aims to create a work experience programme like no other. Our gcScholars programme ensures that for every young person who gets the opportunity to undertake work experiences at gunnercooke because of who they know, we give an equal opportunity to another who is trying to build their network. The programme is delivered to students in our Manchester and London offices. Scholars on the programme have the opportunity to learn about the world of work by meeting various gunnercooke personnel who are at different points in their career and who readily share their working experiences. They also receive tips for writing CVs and making job applications as well as having the chance to be present for a "day in court". The support on the programme extends beyond the completion of the internship as the students become part of our gcScholars alumni group.

WrapUp Berlin After 12 successful years in London, in 2023 we brought WrapUp to Berlin, marking the international start of this amazing initiative!

Every November, winter coats are collected for those in need at various Tube stations and shopping centres in London and other UK cities, then sorted and distributed. In November 2023, thanks to our volunteers, partner organisations, and strong political support, we conducted the first collection at Berlin Central Station and celebrated a great success.
