Social impact

Values

‘We make a difference’ is one of our company values. Through the use of our skills and expertise as well as fundraising activities, giving back to others in society has always been a key part of our culture.

Giving_BackOur people undertake all kinds of challenges to help raise money for charity and support those most in need.  Group-wide, we have a goal to change 1million lives and we are actively involved in that here in the UK. Everyone is encouraged to take part.

Across our regions we use our skills to give CV, career and interviewing advice to young and disadvantaged people; our focus being to unlock and support suppressed talent and individuals from under represented and less socio-economic backgrounds – whether they wish to return to or start work.
