How Can Companies Help?

Many firms in the City operate strong Corporate Social Responsibility policies and are keen to support community organisations through volunteering.

Companies regularly release staff to volunteer in community organisations. This support might mean that a member of the company's accounts department might check your auditing process. Or a member of the HR team may look over your policies for you or someone from the IT department might help to design your web site. Also, small teams of people may help decorate your premises.

Firms recognise that employee volunteering will bring benefits both to community organisations and their own staff.
