Our colleagues recently told us, through our b-Heard survey, that they wanted us to give more back to our local community. So, we decided to increase our paid volunteering time so that every member of staff can dedicate one day a year to supporting a local cause. We’ve set up some opportunities for teams to get involved in and are delighted that several staff from different areas of the business, including our CEO David Lane, have recently taken part in a group activity at FareShare Yorkshire, sorting and packing food supplies that would otherwise go to waste. FareShare’s Jonathan Williams FRSA commented: “We are excited to be partnering with TPT Retirement Solutions because vast amounts of good food go to waste each day while frontline charities struggle to respond to the needs of their communities. TPT will be supporting our Leeds-based operations in various ways to enable us to serve more charities in need of weekly food resources, as our waiting list remains very long and there is much more good food to be intercepted.” David added: “It’s really important to us that every person here has a chance to step back from their day-to-day work and achieve a different kind of fulfilment, it’s great to now have this firmly embedded in our ways of working. Supporting the needs of people within our local community brings home the importance of organisations like FareShare and the role played by those that work and volunteer for them. Thank you to everyone who has helped to make a difference through the activities we’ve been involved in so far. We are aiming to run one every month so, if your organisation or cause needs help, please contact Amanda Parkinson to see if we could support you through volunteering. #volunteer #charity #fareshareyorkshire
