Why Get Involved?

Corporate involvement plays a significant role in the regeneration of inner London boroughs. By supporting community based organisations and enabling them to contribute effectively to their local community, corporates can help build the social, economic and environmental fabric of City fringe communities.

In addition, City firms are increasingly finding that an active, strategic and well-resourced programme of corporate community involvement contributes to their competitive advantage and can become an integral part of staff development.

Some of the direct business benefits reported by companies involved include:

• Increased company reputation and branding
• Personal and professional development through volunteering activities
• Enhanced workforce morale and motivation
• Improved recruitment and staff retention
• Building bridges with the local community
• Encouraging and embracing diversity
