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:

1. Create a skilled, inclusive workforce today and for the future

2. Build thriving communities in which to live and work

3. 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.
