Litmus FM Launches Charitable Initiative

Litmus FM Launches Charitable Initiative
12 September 2025
 

Litmus FM has launched a charitable foundation to donate a portion of its business profits to philanthropic causes.

For 2025, the Litmus FM Foundation will support Smart Works Leeds and Prostate Cancer UK.

Smart Works Leeds is a local branch of Smart Works Charity, which supports women who need help into employment. It provides free interview-appropriate clothing, one-to-one coaching, and confidence-building support to help unemployed women secure job offers and take the next step in their careers.

The charity is supported by Litmus FM Consultant Director Kate Davis, who volunteers as an interview and career coach.

Prostate Cancer UK is the leading charity working to raise awareness of the most common cancer in men, fund vital research, campaign for change, and provide much-needed information and support.

Litmus FM Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer John Brownless is an ambassador and long-standing volunteer for the charity, having raised over £200,000 to support its work. He said, “When we established Litmus FM as a standalone business last year, we always knew we wanted charitable giving to be woven into our fabric. Launching the Litmus FM Foundation is a significant milestone for us and one we’re hugely proud of.

“Both Smart Works Leeds and Prostate Cancer UK carry out extraordinary work that changes lives every day. As a business with more women than men on our board - in what is still a typically male-dominated sector - it feels especially important for us to support charities that empower women, as well as those that champion men’s health. We’re honoured to back both organisations and look forward to seeing the positive impact our Foundation can make as Litmus FM continues to grow.”
