Research shows that UK workers want employers to actively support good causes, with businesses benefiting not just from improved employee morale but also through people developing their work skills and knowledge.
Businesses large and small can support charities in a variety of ways. Corporate team volunteering days can be a great way to come together as a team, undertaking physical tasks such as painting, gardening, clearing and equipment assembly. Equally, flexible volunteering for individuals provide opportunities for employees to expand their skills as well as give something back to their community.
Many organisations have adopted a local organisation and collected donations or raised funds on their behalf through various activities, leading to development of strong mutually beneficial relationships.
Engaging with local good causes is good for employees and good for business. Our experienced team can advise you on local opportunities and connect you with a local charity or organisation where you and your colleagues can volunteer together on an organised project.
