Our Charity Work
Seventy Thirty is very much concerned about the world, people and animals. Our work is focused on making our clients happy but we also like to give something back to this amazing world.

Below is a sample of some of the charities we support and a glimpse of some of the work we have undertaken with them so far.

Fostering
Seventy Thirty's CEO, Susie Ambrose, has been fostering underprivileged teenagers for over eight years. Her dedication to the youngsters is enormous and she experiences great pleasure by giving these teenagers a second chance in life. Susie takes on teenagers who
are affected by alcohol and drugs and by giving them love and affection she turns their lives around. All of her fostered children have completed 'A' levels and are attending university: one of them graduated in the summer of 2007. Susie is sponsoring their education and continues to provide them with much needed love and support.
