Osh, Charlie and Ashley feel that business should be a force for good.
Look after guests, look after our team and then also
do our bit for the wider world.
How it works:
Every year, The Devonshire will give a portion of profits to charity and to support ideas we are excited about.
EverYONE WHO WORKS AT THE DEVONSHIRE is very welcome to give suggestions.
The Devonshire will try and support any team member raising money themselves (by doing a sponsored event for example).

In December 2025, she is travelling to the South Pole with Darren Edwards and his team to embark on a journey to attempt to set a new world record for the longest sit-ski expedition to the South Pole in the history of Antarctic exploration.
We are very excited to be doing a little to support this monumental undertaking.

MAKING THINGS HAPPEN
Devonshire giving exists to help people at the Devonshire make exciting or meaningful things happen. Every year, a portion of our profits will be given to charity or projects of interest.
There is never any need to engage if you are not interested. However, if you do ever want to get involved then please let Sophie, Chrissy, Gemma, Sujan or any of the founders know at any time.
Sophie (Charlie’s wife) is running things after 10 years experience running the Flat Iron Fund, which had many things in common and a similar philosophy. Deliberately simple, intentionally discreet and existing to help the team support things they find meaningful.
This website is intended to be internal to the Devonshire and we will not be shouting about any of the things we support. This does not mean we are not very excited about what we are doing. Quite the opposite - but the motivation is simply to get stuff done, not to try and impress by shouting about it.
the way it works
We will make one main round of donations a year
This will be done over the period of one week so we have time to tell everyone what we are doing and have to time to process and hear all the suggestions. This week will vary but will be chosen to coincide with a quiet week at the pub (if that ever happens!)
We are happy to receive ideas at any time during the year and they will be noted. If anything is particularly urgent, we will try to act more quickly.
These will be one off donations based on suggestions from anyone who is involved with the Devonshire. We have no current plans to set up long term partnerships with any of the charities
Anyone who works at the Devonshire is very welcome to make a suggestion - front and back of house at all levels
It is run in an intentionally inf0rmal way and the best way to share your ideas or stories is to tell Sophie or Chrissy in person. However, you can also send a message using this form here
