IKM Testing UK has announced All Life Chances as one of its partnered charities for 2026, reinforcing the company’s commitment to creating positive, long-term impact within the communities in which it operates.
All Life Chances is an Aberdeen-based charity dedicated to supporting children, young people and families facing poverty, isolation and barriers to education and employment across some of the city’s most deprived areas. The organisation works closely with local charities, schools and community groups, providing professional, practical and financial support to help strengthen services and create sustainable change.
The partnership reflects a strong alignment between IKM Testing UK’s values and All Life Chances’ approach. Rather than short-term interventions, All Life Chances focuses on empowerment, capacity-building and collaboration, principles that closely mirror IKM’s own emphasis on long-term thinking, skills development and responsible business.
As a signatory to the Armed Forces Covenant, IKM Testing UK has a long-standing commitment to supporting individuals and families who may face disadvantage through circumstances beyond their control. This ethos of fairness, inclusion and community responsibility underpins the decision to partner with All Life Chances, whose work gives a voice to people who are often overlooked and helps ensure access to opportunities that enable positive and productive futures.
Speaking on the partnership, Leanne McIntosh, Fundraising Manager at All Life Chances, said:
“While we are still a relatively new charity, we’re delighted to be working with IKM Testing UK who saw the importance of what we do and have chosen to actively support us in our mission. We value their willingness to engage with the realities faced by many communities in Aberdeen, while supporting solutions that are practical, sustainable and locally driven.”
Barry Summers, Regional Director at IKM Testing UK added:
“Choosing All Life Chances as one of our partnered charities was a natural decision for us. Their focus on empowerment, education and long-term change closely aligns with our values as a business, and with our commitments under the Armed Forces Covenant. We see this partnership as an opportunity to contribute our skills and experience in a way that supports communities meaningfully and responsibly.”
The partnership forms part of IKM Testing UK’s wider approach to social responsibility, supporting initiatives that align with its people-first culture while contributing positively to the communities that support its continued growth.
