National Business Response Network
Connecting business support to community need in the COVID-19 crisis.
We are proud to support the Business in the Community network. Business in the Community is the oldest and largest business-led membership organisation dedicated to responsible business.
They aim to inspire, engage with and challenge members and mobilise that collective strength as a force for good in society to:
Create a skilled, inclusive workforce today and for the future
Build thriving communities in which to live and work
Innovate to repair and sustain our planet
They have over 750 corporate members from all sectors so together, we can find a solution. Initially, during the first three months of the crisis, the most needed items were for ‘stuff’ including: food, logistics/distribution services, PPE, ventilators, books/games/instruments, computer equipment, mobile phones, stationery
Now, they are moving their focus on what professional support people might need. Commonly requested services include:
Accounting
Legal services
Procurement
Automation
Executive coaching
PR/marketing/comms
Property services
IT services
Tax
They also have a list of items and services that have been requested.
