business benefits

corporate social responsibility

The challenges provide you with a means to communicate and demonstrate your community commitments. Individuals return to their businesses wanting to share their incredible experiences with other staff, clients and customers on how the company’s involvement has made a difference.

It’s hard to bring to life the value of your donations made to charities, but a team of highly motivated and moved employees raise a huge amount of awareness with their personal stories, photos and case studies. Using their first hand experiences, they become powerful advocates for the company and cause.

"It has engaged our people at every level, capturing their imaginations and is an investment in the community way beyond traditional cheque giving"

Gail Johnson, Head of Social Responsibility

"It is thoroughly worthwhile as part of a corporate responsibility programme and second to none in terms of team building. It's a great way to get your staff motivated, hands on and has a great impact. It works"

Michelle Milnes, Community Affairs

human resources

The rural and urban communities we work in provide incredibly stimulating, real and memorable learning environments, far from the classroom exercises of traditional HR courses. The lessons learnt whilst working alongside your colleagues and the local community ensure that the experiences stay with you forever.

"The volunteering opportunities help us to attract, develop, motivate and retain loyal employees who share similar values. They engage and empower our employees to make a real difference"

Joan Hemmery, Head of Community Investment

"It was an invaluable tool for both individual and team learning and development"

Marie Burke, Community Investment

teambuilding

The teambuilding opportunities are unlimited. Every client who has taken part has given new reasons why this has exceeded their expectations:

·          Exciting way to develop new skills

·          Inspires everyone from individuals, management teams, graduates and whole departments.

·          Bonds clients, customers, partners, suppliers like no other experience

·          Breaks down personal barriers, improves trust, respect and flexibility between people

"The network building was the best I have seen during my 18 years at Reuters. No other challenge provides such powerful results - real life problem solving whilst making a positive difference"

Sally Field, Head of Global Finance

"The programme took a group of individuals, some of whom had never met before, and turned them into a

really strong team with a common goal of making a difference to communities in need"

Carol Key, Corporate Communications
