Various local corporations have been making the most of summer over the past few months by giving back through their company’s community volunteering days, in order to support local organisations.
Firstly, we had a team from Allegis Group spend a day volunteering at a local refuge run by Berkshire Women’s Aid, where they painted rooms, tidied communal areas, and performed general maintenance tasks. Their support was much appreciated by the charity, and their achievement has led to a bright, fresh, welcoming area for all at the refuge.
A group of volunteers from EVS Broadcasting spent their day of social responsibility helping out at the recently reopened Jealott’s Hill Community Landshare, where they had a productive day in the sunshine supporting with a variety of horticultural and gardening tasks.
Corporate volunteering benefits both the organisation being supported and the company volunteering, as it by provides an opportunity for staff to spend time together and get to know each other outside of work. It also helps employees to create new community connections, gain new skills and experiences, whilst encouraging team-building.
If your company or workplace is looking for a volunteering day, or if you are a local organisation or group looking for volunteering support from a group, please contact us!
