Corporate Volunteering

We often have staff teams from local companies come in to volunteer either in our drop-in kitchen or helping out on our allotment. We have had good feedback from these teams and many have found it both a great team building exercise and an effective morale and confidence boost for the individuals in their team.

KPMG, Wates, Aston Uni, Deutsch Bank, N-power and Wragge & Co. enjoyed it so much they have come back time and time again.

Corporate volunteering is an excellent way to improve an employer's relationship with its staff, stakeholders and the wider community in which it operates.
