Neighbourly

💙🎉 Team building with a purpose for the Neighbourly volunteering engagement day Yesterday, we put our principles into practice and saw employees across different teams come together in locations around Bristol to volunteer for local charities and community causes. We encourage staff to volunteer year-round but organising peak volunteering activity is a great way of maximising volunteering impact ⛰️ If you're interested in organising a peak, day, week or month of volunteering, or just want to learn more about how our programmes work, follow the link in the comments 👇

The local-first approach is reshaping how we think about Corporate Social Responsibility 📍❤️ Investing closer to home sends a powerful message: "we care about our communities." And consumers are paying attention... Neighbourly's latest trust research found that: 🤝 69% of people in the UK say they are more likely to trust a company that supports local charities 💸 89% are more likely to buy goods or services from a brand they trust As a platform that connects businesses with small charities and community causes, Neighbourly has long understood the value of giving at a local level in developing trust between stakeholders.

🤝 Nothing means more to the Neighbourly team than receiving feedback from the hardworking charities and community causes in our network. It's a reminder that business can be a force for good and that local impact is at the heart of what we do. Thanks to the partnerships we've built with organisations like Lidl GB, Mexborough Foodbank and other small charities across the UK and Ireland receive the donations they need to continue supporting their communities.

Yesterday Neighbourly joined organisations from across Bristol for the launch of the OurCity2030 campaign, championed by our client AtkinsRéalis. The campaign aims to open up employment opportunities and leverage social value commitments in the Built Environment to address inequalities in the city. It was fascinating to hear from participants in the Babbasa programme, a local social enterprise that supports young people with their professional aspirations, and learn about the specific challenges Bristol faces, set against the wider backdrop of nationwide funding cuts and a challenging business environment. It was great to see Atkins Realis champion greater cross-industry collaboration with real passion, and authenticity and we look forward to seeing how the #OurCity2030 campaign progresses.
