British Gas Business’ Post

Why I volunteer when I can… This was me yesterday, about to begin volunteering for the day with Seaful charity and the amazing events they host; connecting people with waterways and educating young people about ocean protection. I’ve been supporting Seaful and a number of other charities, since becoming self-employed and here’s my reasons why… 1) To stay connected with and support causes which I believe in, and which align with my own personal values. 2) To escape the ‘busy-loneliness’ of being self-employed (if you know, you know) and connect with cool people who share my values too. 3) To maintain a sense of balance, and not become swamped with the need for revenue-based activity all the time. 4) Because volunteering is cool 😎 and yes, it’s OK to feel good about doing it too. Question… Do you #volunteer and if so, what do you enjoy most about it? Why not volunteer your comments below (see what I did there!)… #volunteer #charity #leadership #connection #people #values #beliefs #bethechange #businessowner #selfemployed #stayconnected #bluespace #oceanprotection #coaching

If your company fancies doing something like Dean did with Goldman Sachs, speak to Leila Thomas FRSA. It’s a golden moment to feel good and do good this autumn. #urbansynergy #mentoring

Volunteers are the beating heart of our programmes. They generously donate their time to give information, advice and young people thinking about their next steps after school or college. Volunteers are crucial for charities to achieve their goals. That's why we offer all of our staff volunteer leave so they can donate their work time to another good cause.

Last week was Volunteers Week. Do you know how much voluntary work your teams do outside of work? Consider finding out and exploring ways to support their efforts, whether it's through offering time off, promoting the charities they support, or matching the funds they raise. Recognizing their contributions can significantly boost staff morale. Alternatively, why not arrange a team-building experience centered around volunteering for a local organization? #Volunteers #StaffMorale #TeamBuilding
