Possible Support from Business in the Community

BITC Cymru  is the Prince’s Responsible Business Network in Wales.  We are the business-led charity that works with companies of all sizes and sectors to together we are making a positive difference to our nation’s shared economic, social and environmental challenges.

Do you know community organisations or charities in the Merthyr Tydfil area who could benefit from the expertise and support of business volunteers?

Business in the Community Cymru works with businesses of all sizes and sectors and provides employee volunteering opportunities throughout the year for them to support communities with the greatest needs. 

Give & Gain Day is a celebration of the power and potential of employee volunteering and is sponsored in Wales this year by the Welsh Government and Wales & West Utilities Ltd.  It will take place 8-12 May 2017 and BITC will support employee volunteers to get out in their communities to support local projects with their skills, experience, passion and commitment.

We are keen to support the needs of the communities in Merthyr Tydfil and are looking for good team volunteering opportunities that we can promote to businesses.  If you know of community organisations who have a project or task that you think would benefit from a team of business volunteers, we want to hear from you.  This can be a practical project like enhancing a garden OR a skills-based project like running a workshop. We like to have different types of projects as well as projects in different geographic areas to promote to our businesses.  Please contact Jill Salter on 029 2078 0058 or jill.salter@bitc.org.uk

Last year Give & Gain Day in Wales saw over 1,000 employee volunteers from 62 businesses worked with over 55 community partners. The employees gave over 9,600 hours of their time to projects across Wales, making a positive impact to the lives of over 500,000 people.
