If we can encourage you to do one thing this year, it would be to get to know a local charity. This is one of the first steps you can take into the CSR world. We aren't expecting you to hit the nail on the head with CSR immediately, but we love organisations to be curious and make new relationships.

Choose a date, pick a charity, and start connecting. Need help? give us a shout...

Below are some of the reasons people choose to volunteer, but there are a hundred different reasons.

What is yours? Why do you volunteer? How do you encourage others to volunteer? We'd love to hear your thoughts. Comment below!

If you are already in a position and know what CSR is and how it benefits your organisation, people and beneficiaries but need guidance on an official CSR policy, we can help with this.

When you are in a position to connect with charities, we can help find your perfect fit.

Thanks so much for your kindness in arranging this – they have all gone out in food parcels and to the residents of our move-on houses and hostel. It was wonderful to be able to share a bit of joy in this way at Easter" - 💬
