PEMCO’s Post

Volunteers’ Week 2024 is a time to celebrate and inspire. Over the years Englobe UK are proud of our previous efforts within the charitable sector adding to our overall year on year Social Value initiatives. We believe volunteering is a net positive for society and companies - a win-win on both sides of the table. The benefits of volunteering go far beyond the feel-good factor that it gives you. It’s an activity that can transform who you are at the core of your being, benefiting the communities in which we live, work and play. We look forward to supporting and encouraging our employees to use their extra day’s annual leave per year to volunteer their time. #VolunteersWeek #SocialValue #EnglobeUK #Englobe #ExcellentPeople #GreatPlaceTowork #ProudOfOurWork #Remediaion #RemediationContractor #SoilTreatmentFacilities #BrownfieldContracting #EnablingWorks #IntegratedEnvironmentalServices #InfrastructureProjects #CivilEngineering #HealthandSafety

This week is #volunteersweek and at Action West London we not only value volunteers that work with us but also encourage our clients to gain work experience through volunteering. Our chair of Trustees Tony Coyne recently talked about the importance of volunteering in local charities in his monthly blog post, here are some key points from that blog: 1. Local volunteers have a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges facing their community. This insight allows charities to tailor their services to address specific issues effectively. 2. When people come together to support a common cause, it fosters a sense of unity and purpose. Volunteering creates opportunities for individuals to form relationships and strengthen social networks, which can lead to more resilient communities. 3. Volunteering can empower individuals by providing them with a platform to use and develop their skills. This can boost self-esteem and contribute to personal growth, which in turn benefits the community as a whole. 4. Local community volunteers are more likely to stay committed to a cause over the long term, ensuring sustained support and impact for charities. Charities, localism, and community volunteering are all interlinked and play an important role in shaping strong, vibrant, and supportive communities. By working together, these components can create lasting positive change and enhance the well-being of individuals and families in the community. Read the full blog at https://buff.ly/4aO77Un

According to the Council of Nonprofits, “Absent volunteers, many charitable nonprofits would not be able to conduct programs, raise funds, or serve clients.” There’s an extraordinary amount of quality work that simply would not get done were it not for volunteers. For this reason, volunteer management and retention is paramount to the success of many programs. 💜 Find out more about volunteer management and retention here: https://lnkd.in/gUrUQ4kM #internationalworkingdogs #workingdog #workingdogs #journal #learn #education #science #guidedog #assistancedog #servicedog #policedog #militarydog #dog #volunteer #vollie #nonprofit #charity #support
