Youth Talk Are the Real Winners of Our World Cup Sweepstake

20th July 2026 | Thalia Weston | Corporate Social Responsibility, Business Community, YouthTalk

England's hopes of lifting the trophy came to an end in the World Cup semi-finals, falling at the final hurdle. But while the football may be over, there was still plenty to celebrate at Sherrards.

Thanks to the generosity of colleagues taking part in our World Cup Sweepstake, we raised over £260 for YouthTalk, the St Albans-based charity providing free counselling and mental health support to young people across our local community.

Supporting Youth Talk is something we’re proud to do. Last October, Sherrards also sponsored and entered a team in The Great St Albans Challenge, joining hundreds of local businesses and organisations in raising funds for this fantastic cause while celebrating everything that makes our city such a special place.

Corporate Social Responsibility is a core part of our values at Sherrards. As a firm with deep roots in St Albans, we’re committed to supporting local charities and initiatives that make a genuine difference. One of the things that makes St Albans unique is its strong sense of community, with businesses, charities and residents coming together to support one another. We’re proud to play our part in that community spirit.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part in the sweepstake and contributed to this year’s fundraising. We’re delighted that together we’ve been able to support the important work Youth Talk continues to do for young people in our community.
