The greatest influence that GMG has on the community - locally, nationally and internationally - is through the pages of its newspapers and websites, and through its other media properties.
The Group also meets its responsibilities through a large number of charitable, educational and local community-based initiatives.
The Scott Trust Foundation, an umbrella organisation for the Trust's charitable activities, oversees: the Guardian Foundation, which supports the creation of independent newspapers overseas; the archive, which preserves records relating to the history of the Guardian and the Observer; the education centre, which runs free workshops and other events; and the Scott Trust Charitable Fund, which supports projects associated with independent journalism, journalistic ethics, media literacy and journalism training.

As well as backing national and international causes in its newspapers, Guardian News & Media supports schools and charities by channelling volunteers, funding and expertise into long-term partnerships. GNM's flagship project is a collaboration with Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school (EGA), a large inner-city girls' school in Islington, London.

The Group's other businesses also organise and support a range of community initiatives, and leverage their resources and reach to benefit numerous good causes.
Community engagement is also a significant part of the Group's 'Power of 10' sustainability strategy and vision.
