Work in the community
We’re proud and committed to supporting our local community, various local charities and the environment..
Volunteering and supporting the local community
In 2019, the Society gave every member of staff a ‘volunteer day’, so that they could personally get involved and make a difference to our charities. Our staff took on a wide variety of challenges from digging and planting allotments, to painting walls and ceilings, to packaging up Christmas gifts, and a few even got to play at being Santa, by delivering the gifts door to door. We've gladly carried this on after a brief pause during Covid, our staff report they find these days fulfilling and inspiring.
Environment
Each year, we give all our members the opportunity to share their experience and feedback with us via our Members' questionnaire. For the past seven years we've been partnering with eForests and plant a tree for every 10 questionnaires completed online to help our ambition of reducing our carbon footprint.
To date we have planted over 3,000 trees around the UK in community woodlands, nature reserves, community farms and urban areas.
