KPMG Foundation & Ganspoel

At KPMG, giving back is an essential aspect of life and an integral part of our values, culture, and Impact Plan. Through the KPMG Foundation, we want to give our people the opportunity and time to make a real difference in the community and for charities they care about. By giving every person the opportunity to submit a volunteer project, we aim to motivate everyone to get actively involved and make an impact.

Ganspoel is a care and education center in Belgium that supports children and young people with visual impairments, intellectual disabilities, and autism. With a focus on tailored care and inclusion, Ganspoel creates a safe and nurturing space where every child can thrive.

Each year, Ganspoel organizes ‘Jongerenhoogdag’— a fun-filled celebration dedicated to the children. The day features a wide range of engaging and interactive activities, including tractor rides, a petting zoo, a parrot show, inflatable castles, karting, stage performances, and even a hands-on experience with the local fire brigade.

Through the KPMG Foundation, a team of volunteers spent the day with Ganspoel, helping to create a memorable experience for the children from the center.

On Thursday 22 May 2025, to ensure the day ran smoothly, KPMG volunteers stepped in to support the children throughout the various activities.

Their contributions included:

• Guiding children between activities, including assistance with wheelchairs.
• Offering support during shows, games, and interactive moments.
• Ensuring safety and encouraging all children to participate and enjoy themselves.

The volunteers brought energy, patience, and enthusiasm — helping turn the event into a day of wonder and connection. For many of the children, it was a rare opportunity to experience adventure and freedom in a safe and supportive environment.

We are incredibly grateful to our volunteers who continue to seize opportunities to make a real difference. By working #Together, we achieve so much more, building stronger connections and supporting our community in meaningful ways.
