In 2011 Bosch will be celebrating a double anniversary: 125 years since the company's establishment and 150 years since the birth of our founder.

Known for his generous philanthropic nature, Robert Bosch was an engineering pioneer who kept charity at the heart of everything he did. This has not changed much in the last 125 years at Bosch and to celebrate 125 years of his company, it seems only fitting that the celebrations retain this charitable heart.

We have chosen Children in Need, which is the BBC's corporate charity in the UK because of their mission, to make a positive change to the lives of disadvantaged children and young people here in the UK. The size and scale of the charity allows grants to be given to national and local charities that do not have the resources to fundraise for themselves. It is even possible to identify where the funds have gone on a local level.

To reach our aim of £125,000, each of the nine Bosch sites across the UK will work individually, as well as together on a variety of fundraising activities, including cake sales, raffles and family experience days.

Every year Children in Need helps thousands of disadvantaged children across the United Kingdom, so please give generously to help us reach our goal by Friday the 18th of November!
