We have successfully established numerous charities and CICs (Community Interest Companies), obtained relevant tax relief from HMRC, and reclaimed significant amounts in unclaimed Gift Aid. This sector has been a cornerstone of Sigma since its establishment and remains an area in which we take great pride.
