SUSTAINABLE SEPTEMBER – KEY SPONSOR
We have been running a Sustainable September campaign for two years. In 2023, more than 40 businesses took part to support local charities in several ways including providing a plethora of second-hand items, volunteering in charity shops and holding swap shops to raise money. We want to make this initiative bigger and better and are looking for a member to partner with to enable us to create a bigger Sustainable September month and help our charitable partners further.
VOLUNTEERING ACTION DAYS – KEY SPONSOR
Our Volunteering Action Days are well-established and extremely popular. Demand for these events has dramatically increased post-covid with employees keen to get out and help within their local communities. With a greater number of employees working from home, these volunteering days provide opportunities for team members to spend time together and build relationships and their collaborative working skills. We are looking for a member to partner with to enable us to create a bigger variety and improved action days.
ONGOING FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGNS
GOOD FOOD FUND
The Good Food Fund has been established to help tackle the issue of hunger in Northern Ireland. It is specifically designed to support primary school children, with the aim of helping more than 10,000 young people until the end of 2023.
