We are so lucky to be working in this industry. We get to grow and thrive and help our teams and clients to also grow and thrive.
This week, Bohemia Group took some time out to give back to our community and help others less fortunate than ourselves.
Alongside our awesome media partner oOh! We jumped on a bus to Banksmeadow to volunteer for a day at Thread Together.
Thread Together is a charity organisation that focuses on ethical response to fashion excess. From those that have too much to those that have too little.
Thread Together partner with many organisations to clothe thousands of people in need across the country and we would love to spread the word on what amazing work they are doing for the community.
A big thank you to our Boho Rhapsody Club team for driving our Thrive initiative and a big thank you to Gabrielle RichSarah Cowie and the rest of the oOh! Team for participating and supporting our initiative.

Ever wondered what Radical women get up to at the weekend?
Emma Freivogel spends her weekends striking poses in empty car parking bays.
Well, she did this Saturday morning anyway…
Emma was holding the space for a delivery van…
Why?
Because the wonderful people at Talentful donated lots of office equipment to Radical Recruit.
Emma and I went along to the office to collect some huge TVs and other useful bits and bobs that we and our Radicals will benefit from.
Poor Emma was full of a cold and I was aching all over after taking a tumble getting into the shower the night before. Together, we made one functioning human.
Thankfully, we met the very helpful Curtis who did lots of the heavy lifting for us.
3 TVs are now safely with Radical people who were incredibly grateful for this super kind donation.
A massive thank you to Shelby Rosen, Jessica Zwan and Curtis for making this happen.
There are lots of ways that businesses can support Radical Recruit.
Could you be our next charity partner?
Why not join us for a short lunchtime webinar on 29th February to find out more??
We’ll be showcasing a range of recruitment, training and volunteering options that can benefit your business as well as Radical people.
You’ll hear from our sponsors and the Radicals who benefit from their support.
So, if you’re looking for a charity to support, join us to discover the range of sponsorship opportunities on offer.
The registration link is in the comments.
Look forward to seeing you there.

MyBigCareer - roughly, here's how a session with the students work:
🗣 MBC share a list by email with volunteers (post training) with list of schools and time slots to fill the following month.
🗣You respond with your availability and choice of slots you can support.
🗣MBC respond with your confirmed schedule.
🗣For each school you receive an email with all the information you need, a week in advance.
🗣You join the online call 10 minutes before the time, meeting with the coordinator and other volunteers, before being going to you 'room', with a workstation at the school, where each student on your list will come to speak with you.
🗣You have 20 minutes with each student, listening, helping them to share their thoughts, finding out what they are think about school, if they have any thoughts about their career, encouraging them and signposting to websites they can explore further.
🗣End of session, you leave the 'room', returning to catch-up with the coordinator, and raise any safeguarding issues, if there have been any.
🗣Type up and submit a short report for each student, including any website links discussed with a student, for the school to share with them.
Even if you only have an hour free each month, you could still make a difference.
>> Why don't you contact MyBigCareer to find out how you can become a Volunteer, like I did?

It’s National Volunteers’ Week and I wanted to share a personal big shoutout to all of our awesome volunteers at MyBigCareer.
Our volunteers really embody all of our organisational values through all of the support that they offer our young people.
- Compassion First
- Dream Big
- Empowerment
- Act with Purpose
We couldn’t do what we do and what we’ve accomplished without the time and effort our volunteers give to support young people with their career aspirations. I love seeing firsthand the impact our programmes have on not only our young people, but also our volunteers.
To celebrate our fantastic team of volunteers we are hosting a couple of events, both online and in-person:
☕️ Online coffee drop-ins - this provides volunteers the chance to hear from each other and connect, no matter where in the country they’re logging in from.
🧍♀️🧍In-person Volunteer and Partners Breakfast event in Newcastle - attendees will have the opportunity to meet other volunteers, our partner representatives, as long as MBC staff and trustees. They will have the chance to hear all about the impact their support has had on our young people, as well as updates and what happens in other areas of the charity.
If you’d like to join our ever growing team of volunteers then please reach out to us at volunteering@mybigcareer.org
THANK YOU VOLUNTEERS
