It's always refreshing to get out and do great deeds personally and professionally! 🌍 Reflecting on a fulfilling weekend hosting Relate Central Park Cleanup Community Day! 🌱 We want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for our annual Relate Central Park Cleanup Community Day. Your dedication to making our community cleaner and more vibrant truly embodies our values of leadership and stewardship. At Relate Central, we believe that businesses have a responsibility to not only excel in their industry but also to contribute positively to the communities they serve. Volunteering isn't just about giving back; it's about demonstrating leadership through action. By coming together as a team, we're not only cleaning up our environment but also fostering a culture of teamwork and social responsibility. Our efforts this weekend weren't just about picking up trash; they were about leading by example and showing our commitment to sustainability and community involvement. It was inspiring to see everyone's enthusiasm and dedication throughout the day. Together, we made a tangible difference that will resonate beyond our event. Thank you once again to all our volunteers, organizers, and supporters for making Relate Central Park Cleanup Community Day a resounding success. Let's carry this spirit of leadership and community into everything we do, both in business and in giving back.

Such great wisdom from Patagonia as to what it takes to build a truly great community of workers around a transcendent mission worth fighting for: “Your community comprises people living in proximity to your company and all those who supply it, wherever they live. The responsible company is a local asset wherever its people gather for work in offices, stores, warehouses, factories, and fields and orchards. A company’s obligation to the community includes paying its fair share of taxes to support the services it relies on from the community (in schools, roads, utilities, health, and safety). A responsible company supports civil society with cash donations and in-kind contributions of products or services. What businesses do matters to communities. A company’s decision to put down roots or pull out directly hurts or helps the local citizens. Every company needs to ask itself: Where are we local? And what are our obligations to those places we call home?” https://lnkd.in/g2FTcjQ6

What a day for a worm survey! 🪱 It was lovely to be joined by some of the Lloyd & Whyte team for a day of corporate volunteering.

It’s Joy of Giving month at Fortnum’s - when we encourage all our people to give their time to help out. Yesterday morning I joined Alex, Amy and Georgia from the team here in Piccadilly to sort and distribute surplus food at The Felix Project’s Deptford Depot in south east London.   Seeing Felix in action for the first time, the scale of our food waste problem is breathtaking. According to the founder of Felix the wonderful Justin Byam-Shaw “our food industry generates 223,000 tonnes of edible food surplus each year - but only 7% of this reaches the people who need it.” A lot of this surplus is unnecessary. We all know that perfectly good fruit and veg is rejected by our supermarkets (and to be fair, by their customers) all the time for being wonky or marked or inconsistently sized, but until you actually see what that rejection means in pallet-loads, it’s easy to assume that the system of food production and distribution in the U.K. is highly efficient. Well it isn’t. And we saw thousands of examples in just one shift yesterday.   The opportunity to help put that good quality food into the hands of those who really need it - individuals, social kitchens, schools and hostels, the elderly - seemed a chance too good to miss. We sifted through vast quantities of fresh produce, sorting the good from the bad (nearly all perfectly good) and grocery products by Use By and Best Before dates, so that they could be delivered in green Felix vans as a high priority. We worked hard - I’m not sure Georgia, Amy and Alex need to see another potato for a while, and I feel the same.   In terms of Fortnum’s contribution, we are hoping that by the end of September, our people will have completed 300 hours’ worth of volunteering time for 3 fantastic organisations: The Felix Project; Centrepoint UK (combatting youth homelessness) and The London Wildlife Trust. Not bad for a relatively small business, and I know alot of fun has been had and new friendships forged along the way.   If you have given up your time this month to help others, 👊 good on you.   #teamFortnums #volunteering #thefelixproject #sustainability #foodwaste #joyofgiving

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

I'm always keeping an eye out for new corporate charity partnerships and this one 👇 caught my eye. Ella's Kitchen and RSPB are joining forces to "protect the birds, bees and bugs", helping to safeguard biodiversity and future food supply. It's so good on so many levels 👏 ➡ It makes brilliant business sense - Ella's Kitchen is a certified #bcorp meaning it has made a legal commitment to high social and environmental performance. ➡Ella's Kitchen is in the business of food production so championing a conservation charity working to safeguard food security makes perfect sense. ➡ Using RSPB's expertise and resources helps the brand to connect with their target audience of families with young children, for instance providing fun family activities like planting seeds. ➡ It also builds on the work that the Ella's Kitchen has already done to minimise its environmental impact. ➡ It's a win for RSPB too, giving them access to new audiences so they can drive awareness, amplify their message and increase impact. ➡ I'm a big fan of multi-year partnerships like this one (until 2030), so both partners can test, learn, adapt, share skills and contribute to long term commitments. ➡ The targets are specific and time-bound. Ella's Kitchen will be supporting 9 different projects and have published their targets for transparency, stakeholders will be able to track their progress. Their joint aim is to restore 30m square feet of meadows and grassland by 2030. ➡ The partners have created these lovely visual assets to support their new alliance. Will be watching this new partnership with interest. 🕊 🐝 🐞 🦋 👶 🌺 #partnerships #charitypartnership #responsiblebusiness #conservation #GoodEndeavours

I this video we explore how volunteering for your local government can have a positive impact on the environment and the community as a whole. By working on projects such as planting trees, creating community gardens, and cleaning up parks, volunteers can help improve the local environment and make a difference in their community. In addition to the environmental benefits, volunteering with local government can also provide personal benefits. It is a great way to meet new people, learn new skills, and make a positive impact on the world around you. What's your story? #NetZeroKuringgai

You may have seen our Ballot Bins, heard of our Community Fridges, or our annual #EatYourPumpkin campaign, & wondered; what exactly do we do at Hubbub? Well, now we have a new website to show just that.   🌳 We’re Hubbub, a creative environmental charity. Our purpose is to inspire action that’s good for the environment, & for everyone.    🌦️ Why? The majority of the UK public are concerned about the climate crisis but are unclear what they can do about it. We believe to create change at the scale needed, everyone needs to be on board. We also believe action can benefit people too by bringing people together, helping people saving money & making what we have go further.   👫 So, what do we do? We bring businesses, local authorities & community groups together. We design environmental campaigns that meet people where they’re at & support individuals and communities to make a difference. By helping everyone get involved, see the benefits, & build mainstream support for action on climate, we help businesses & government to make positive choices too.    👀 Curious about what you can do? Welcome to www.hubbub.org.uk.
