Struggling to meet Section 106 requirements? Discover 5 ways your recruitment partner can add social value to your projects. Social value initiatives are a big deal. £1.08bn generated in 2022! (SCAPE Report) But meeting Section 106 obligations can be tricky… We'll show you 5 ways your recruitment partner can help you achieve your social value goals: 1. PARTNER with local charities and employment groups to recruit motivated job seekers who want to make an impact in their community. 2. INVOLVE the local community by creating taster days for students and recent grads to explore career options. 3. UPSKILL the local community by providing apprenticeships, work placements, courses, and training. This benefits both employees and residents, building valuable skills. 4. HOST community groups for site walks or initiatives to foster transparency and engagement. This offers residents a chance to see your work first-hand and gives groups a unique experience. 5. ORGANISE charity events on-site, raising funds and inviting local charities to participate. This could involve talks or outreach programs.

It is National Trustee week (you might have noticed.....) The evidence suggests that becoming a charity trustee offers numerous personal development benefits. Some of these include: Skill Development -Trusteeship provides opportunities to develop a wide range of skills, including leadership, strategic planning, financial management, and governance. These skills are clearly transferable and can enhance your professional profile; Networking - Serving as a trustee allows you to connect with a diverse group of people, including other trustees, charity staff, beneficiaries, and stakeholders. This can expand your professional network and open up new opportunities. For those who are seeking their next paid role, this has obvious benefits; Experience and Knowledge - Trustees gain valuable experience in the non-profit sector, learning about charity operations, legal obligations, and the specific issues the charity works to address. This knowledge too can be beneficial in both personal and professional contexts; Personal fulfilment - Many trustees that I speak with find the role personally rewarding since it allows them to contribute to a cause they care about, making a tangible difference in their community. Studies show that a sense of purpose can enhance overall well-being and satisfaction; Enhanced CV- Being a trustee is often seen as a prestigious role and this too can enhance your CV, demonstrating your commitment to social responsibility and your ability to handle significant responsibilities; and Problem-solving and decision-making - Trustees often face complex challenges that require innovative solutions and sound decision-making. This experience can sharpen problem-solving abilities and improve your confidence in making critical decisions. So, if any of the above sounds attractive then maybe you could consider giving your time to support a cause that matters to you by becoming a trustee? I can practically guarantee you won't regret it. #trustee #nationaltrusteeweek #community #personaldevelopment

Yesterday at our weekly online Zokit meeting we had a great discussion about ‘what we give back?’ We talked about the usual stuff like sponsorships and charity donations, but for me, when we talk about giving back, it’s not always about money. Looking out for each other – running a business can be stressful and sometimes quite lonely. We often get wrapped up in daily grind and it can go days, weeks or even months without hearing from each other. It’s so important to be aware of what other people may have going on, checking in if they are quieter than normal and offering each other help and support. I’m so grateful of my business buddies. Investing in young people – We are passionate about getting more young people into financial services and training them up to be mortgage administrators and advisors. We are committed to giving young people a chance and opportunity to learn and develop. We offer work experience, part time jobs, internships and eventually hope to have our own training programme. Young people are our future 🧡 What will you be giving back?
