Investing time, skills and funds

At a time when many people from different demographics are isolated or disconnected from society, we want to connect people to opportunities, to their communities and to the natural world.

We encourage our employees to get involved in both allocating funds and using their time and skills to support projects.

Tomorrow's generation

Helping our people support their communities

We provide three paid days' volunteering leave for our people every year to contribute to their local communities. Many choose to use their time for company organised volunteering, or as charity trustees, mentors or for supporting local community groups.

We also support our colleagues to fundraise and donate to charities close to their heart through payroll giving schemes and company matching initiatives.
