Life at Seven Hills
From regular socials to a keen focus on health and wellbeing,
we make sure there is plenty to enjoy at our riverside home.
GIVING BACK
We actively encourage charitable work and volunteering. From year round fundraising to support for Shelter and Cancer Research, we back good causes and offer one day per year for every member of the team to volunteer for an organisation of their choice.
FLEXIBLE WORKING AND SUPPORT
We offer flexible working, a short term salary advance if needed, and we each have access to Perkbox, for discounts on everything from cinema tickets to car hire.
SEVEN HILLS ACADEMY
Throughout the year we invite great campaigners, entrepreneurs and leaders to visit and share their experiences with us. A brilliant chance to hear from inspiring people about the ideas that drive them.
CHANGEMAKER
OF THE MONTH
Each month we recognise one person who has excelled in their work and contributed to the firm’s mission over the previous few weeks. Nominations are taken from the full team, with the winner awarded a prize worth up to £75.
MILESTONE CELEBRATIONS
We never miss an opportunity to mark a major milestone. Every birthday is celebrated with a cake and early leave, and every anniversary with champagne.
SEVEN HILLS SOCIALS
Each year we put together a vibrant calendar for the year ahead to ensure there are plenty of opportunities to come together as a team. Recent socials have included a darts night at Flight Club, our summer sports day, curry night, as well as our annual start to the year brunch, summer away-day and Christmas party.
FRIDAY FEAST
Food is a big part of life at Seven Hills and we make sure we break bread together every Friday with delicious lunches served from local caterers. We also celebrate the team’s efforts each week with our (in)famous Friday drinks trolley, regular quizzes and of course, Sid the Frenchie!
WELLBEING INITIATIVE
Our Wandsworth location means we work right next to the park and the river. Perfect for a lunchtime walk! We hold a healthy breakfast once a month and encourage our team to boost their mental and physical wellbeing where they can.
Seven Hills is offering an opportunity to recent graduates and aspiring campaigners to join our internship programme in 2020. Mission Bootcamp, taking place on Friday 28th February, will give applicants a flavour of life at a fast-paced campaigning firm and the chance of a one-month, paid internship.

Sessions will be presented throughout the day by our founders Michael Hayman MBE DL and Nick Giles, and senior members of the Seven Hills’ team.
We are looking for recent graduates and / or candidates with relevant experience to take part, with a view to begin an internship in March/ April 2020.

Today we held a bake sale in the office to raise money for the fire and rescue services in Australia.
We’ve all seen how devastating the bushfires in Australia have been – a record 4.9 million hectares have been burnt in New South Wales and an estimated 1.23 billion animals have already been killed – and it’s only the beginning of the season.
We wanted to do something to contribute to effort on the frontline so proceeds from our bakes today will go to The New South Wales fire services, whose firefighters are doing all they can to put an end to the damage.

Yesterday we celebrated the start of the festive season with our annual Seven Hills Christmas Party. We started with some delicious food, followed by awards, quizzes and dancing to a live band. We are now looking forward to taking a well deserved break and seeing what 2020 has in store! #teamchristmasparty
It’s a festive Friday here in the office☃️. We all wore Christmas jumpers to raise money for @savechildrenuk to make sure that children in the UK and around the world are safe and healthy by leading the way on tackling problems including pneumonia, hunger and protecting children in war.

The countdown continues and there are just 2 days until #SmallBizSat 2019! There are 5.8 million small businesses across the country, so go down and #FindYourLocalHero this weekend!
We’re getting ready with a fantastic event at the House of Lords with this year’s #SmallBiz100 - thanks to @michelle_ovens and Lord Young for hosting us and @madebymammas @zoehardman for a great insight into her small business!
Our feet are definitely a little bit achy after yesterday’s Shelter 10km Sleep Walk. A massive thank you to everyone who donated!
Collectively we raised over £2k and because of you, homeless people will hopefully be a little warmer and safer this Christmas🎄#sheltersleepwalk2019
Back in the studio again, meeting inspiring entrepreneurs and finding out what makes them tick.

The Seven Hills team is getting ready to take part in the 10km Shelter Sleep Walk across central London this evening. The Shelter Sleep Walk aims to raise awareness and help fight against homelessness. Across the UK, we are facing a national housing emergency. Thousands of people are sleeping rough and 6 million households are at risk of losing their homes. We want this to change.
Any donations are greatly appreciated to help us support Shelter and the work that they are doing across the UK. Please use the following link to donate via our Just giving page - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/seven-hills
#ShelterSleepWalk2019
A phenomenal Friday afternoon auction at the office raised hundreds in support of @sheltercharity - from home made cakes to pledges to recycled possessions.
On the 3rd December we will be participating in the Shelter Sleep Walk 2019 - a 10km night walk through London to raise money to support those affected by homelessness and bad housing.
It is estimated that over 320,000 people will be homeless at Christmas this year. One in 200 people in the UK are currently sleeping on the streets or in temporary accommodation – and London reported the highest levels of homelessness in the country, with as many as 170,000 people or one in 52 without a home.
Winter really is the worst time of year for people without adequate shelter.
We’re raising funds in support of Shelter and would welcome any small donations you might be prepared to make. More details and the link to our Just Giving page in our bio. #sleepwalkforshelter
This time two weeks ago we were all gathered for our #ChangeMakers2019 - a forum for powerful ideas and new thinking. We were proud to gather speakers which provided an optimistic view of the future economy and the power we have to shape a brighter future. And as @bejaymulenga told us ‘it all starts from within and the rest will hear us’ #tbt
Mission: Accomplished! Yesterday we had a number of students and recent graduates complete the Seven Hills Mission Bootcamp – a crash course in the life of a Campaign Executive.
The day was split into three main tasks: a group campaigning exercise, an individual presentation and a pitching session with an undercover Seven Hills ‘journalist’. All candidates were fantastic and it was great to have such enthusiasm and energy in the office. The whole Seven Hills team got involved and participated in a variety of exercises. A huge well done to all the attendees for getting stuck in!

Yesterday we hosted our annual Change Makers Summit at @usa_in_uk. We convened some of the most influential names in business today, to discuss how they are making a positive impact on society. We gathered entrepreneurs, investors, philanthropists, business leaders and innovators. Together we celebrated business and the chance we have to make a positive difference to the world around us. We would like to extend a special thank you to our speakers and comperes who made the event a triumph.
