As an ethical, community minded and people first business, Community Matters Partnership (CMP) has been a great partnership for our business. Simon says it all in this video - but this is our experience... It is a simple cost versus value equation for us. The cost: 1. A relatively modest financial contribution annually. 2. Structuring the workplace to allow staff to take the time to give back. The value: 1. The sense of well being that comes from volunteering, whether that is spending the day working in a valued local resource like a community garden - or a day at the beach doing our bit for reducing micro-plastics. 2. Team building. On our last corporate volunteering day we had members of our management team working along side people doing work experience and newer team members too. A great opportunity to get our hands dirty and chat on a different level than is always possible in the workplace. 3. Meeting fantastic like minded businesses and people. People make the world go round. Through CMP we not only work along side some of our suppliers and customers (UK Connect Ltd and Signwrite Studios Ltd to name just two) but have also met people and great companies like Rob Molloy of ally and mo media. 4. CMP enables us to easily provide our teams the opportunity to get involved in local projects without us having to do all the planning and arranging. They take all the stress out, do the organising, risk assessments and even provide the tea and biscuits! This negates the time and cost involved of us organising this in house. 5. In addition to volunteering opportunities, CMP also organise some great events - such as the annual quiz night and Runway Challenge. 6. Marketing value - we go out and do something good - we also get to talk about it and the amazing other businesses involved with CMP 7. It makes Cre8tive Space a better place to work and helps us to attract like minded people to join our growing business. value 7 - cost 2! The team at CMP really do make our #CSR programme easier to manage, which makes providing our team with 4 paid volunteering days a year a piece of cake! Thanks to all at CMP for all you do for our business and people! Simon Jarvis Anthea Rastall Rachel Austen and all the team! #volunteering #peoplefirst

My takeaways from this episode: 1. Community and connection is important for all 2. Good is happening throughout Memphis and the world; even when it’s not displayed broadly 3. Whats your why 4. Volunteering and volunteer leadership can be difficult and tiring, how are nonprofits and organizations empowering those who are serving?

According to Dr Christopher Martin (Cranfield University), “No individual, organisation, institution and government is going to escape the calls for sustainable products, services and solutions with the human at the core” (Logistics and Supply Chain Management, 2011). One way that we (IFB Gaming) encourage and support organisations to contribute to society is by empowering organisations to volunteer to work in communities in controlled environments through our Corporate Volunteering Programme. https://lnkd.in/eBTaaXPC

Don’t tell Green Living Magazine, but Global Shapers Phoenix isn’t even a non-profit. We’re just a group of young people that want to curate a better world 🌎 But that hasn’t stopped us from being nominated alongside some of Arizona’s largest non-profits that have full time staff and massive budgets. That hasn’t stopped us from moving hundreds of pounds of litter from Arizona parks to recycling centers. That hasn’t stopped us from planting trees that will remove carbon from the air while growing produce in food deserts. That hasn’t stopped us from registering young voters across the country. And this November, that won’t stop us from bringing 200 young leaders from around the world to Phoenix, celebrating our impact while connecting people, resources, and tools to spark further impact in more than 50 communities around the world. Our impact is only as great as our members, and we are looking for more!

How do we increase the opportunities for work experience, volunteering, and building employability skills for young people who are in care? We know that access to these opportunities is so key to building the skills you need to be work ready, but how is best to fill these gaps?

Giving back is at the heart of everything we do at SureCall Contact Centers! Our incredible team had the honour of volunteering at Camp Bonaventure. From planting potatoes to assembling pipes, every moment was filled with warmth and love. Seeing the results from the hard work of our team reminded us why we're passionate about making a difference, both on the phone and in our community. Thank you, Camp Bonaventure, for letting us be a part of your incredible journey! #ExecutiveLeadership #CEOInsights #CLevelLeadership #BusinessStrategy #LeadershipDevelopment #DigitalTransformation #CXOCommunity #IndustryInsights #EnterpriseSolutions #ExecutiveBriefing #LeadershipVision #CorporateInnovation #CXOLeaders #BusinessPerformance #StrategicPartnerships
