We believe that when the communities in which we operate prosper, so do we. As a family company we want to encourage, incentivise and reward colleagues for making a positive impact in communities, so that more of us can support the good causes we care about.

We have relaunched our Giving Something Back Programme to all colleagues, reminding everyone of the benefits and how you can get involved. Everyone has access to match-funding benefits and central event challenges. We’re also evolving our offer so more colleagues can get involved through more services, including salary sacrifice. As a family company we want to encourage, incentivise and reward colleagues for making a positive impact in communities, so that more of us can support the good causes we care about.
We’ve launched a new volunteering initiative called ‘Donate A Day’, encouraging colleagues to take paid leave and volunteer within local communities for a good cause. As a company committed to the communities within which we operate, we want to make it easy for colleagues to take part and make a difference locally.
We are connecting more with local schools and colleges from disadvantaged areas, offering time to colleagues to work with students and grow partnerships with our community education institutions. The schemes will be led by schools and we’ll listen and support where we can. The aim is to help improve prospects of students who face challenges in their lives to develop skills and aspiration to progress in their education and careers.
There are a few ways you can get involved and help contribute to our Community Vision and Goal:
Fundraise in your local community or at work and boost your fundraising activity through our Giving Something Back match-funding and salary sacrifice offer. Be sure to share your story with the GSB team too!
We’ll shortly be sharing guidance on how you can take paid leave to volunteer. In the meantime you can find out more about volunteering in the link below. Be sure to share your story with the GSB team to inspire others too!
In the future we’ll be working closer with schools. If you are interested in doing something with your local school or college, talk to your Community Lead within your organisation who can help and offer guidance.
