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.
KPMG Foundation Project
Ferm’ Eline is one of the volunteering projects under the KPMG Foundation, selected by our people. Founded in memory of Eline Moeremans, the non-profit is an inclusive, warm, safe, and accessible place for vulnerable youth or young adults, helping them find healing and peace in the nature of the Ardennes and close to animals. It is a place where young people from psychiatry and special youth care can recharge and develop together with the people who are important to them.
Eline is remembered by her loved ones as the sweetest twin sister, daughter, and a true friend, who a playful do-gooder with strong ideology. Eline lived intensely and purely, loved hard and was loved, and she excelled in everything. Eline gave everyone a chance, and especially those who were most vulnerable. After losing her in 2019, her mother and people close to her decided to honor her legacy and carry on Eline’s biggest passion for caring with Ferm’ Eline.
The main mission of Ferm’ Eline is to bring attention to the mental well-being and protection of vulnerable young people and young adults and to break any taboo around it. At the same time, the Ferm' wants to offer caregivers, adolescents, and young adults a place to facilitate innovative trajectories and alternative therapies alongside traditional health care and youth care.
Making an impact
On 29 September 2023, our KPMG volunteers dedicated an entire day to help with tree felling and demolition works around the farm, to help create the most ideal and serene environment for the organization’s first guests.
Our volunteers tackled the following tasks:
- Felling Christmas trees
- Digging a trench for underground pipes
- Placing a sceptic tank
- Dismantling part of the chalet
- Painting walls
- Driving the demolition waste to the container park
- Demolition work in the sanitary future bathroom and old stables
Everyone was very happy with the work that was done - it was a productive day!
We're very grateful that our people took the opportunity and time to make a real difference. Because by working #Together, we can achieve so much more.
