This week, a fantastic group of 20 business volunteers from organisations including @networkrail, @HDR_Inc, @UKhomeoffice, W2 Paraplanning, Chic Ltd, @WatesGroup, @VeoliaUK and @MaudsleyNHS came together to interview an amazing 174 students.
Thanks to all for their support!
As we come to the end of Volunteers Week, we want to acknowledge how volunteering doesn’t just change lives - it strengthens communities and workplaces too.
Thank you to the businesses who support Croydon, especially @MottMacDonald, @AllianzAssistUK, and @TBXHSunley.
#AllInItTogether brings people, skills, & organisations together to deliver impact.
We've brought some contractors together to support @Our Space, home to @DisabilityCroydon and hub for community groups.
Thanks to OCS, @Prolec, @MulalleyandCo, and Buxton for their support!
Today we're featuring @Cre8football Coach Mentoring, part funded by our 20th anniversary grants - they provided opportunities for 34 young people in #Croydon to develop confidence & pathways into #employment, empowering the next generation of coaches, referees, mentors & leaders.
348 - that's how many we've supported so far this year on their journey towards #employment and we couldn't have done it without our #volunteers!
This #VolunteersWeek, we want to recognise that the impact you make extends beyond a single session. You help to change lives.
We were delighted to partner with Bright Futures 4 All yesterday to deliver a #Confidence and #Employability workshop for 24 inspiring young people who chose to spend part of their half term investing in their #future.
