Inspire your employees in the Regional Park!
Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) is for business and public sector employers wishing to make a difference, either as individuals or in teams.
We want to develop long term relationships with companies working in the Wandle Valley and build opportunities for organisations and their staff development further afield.
We have many opportunities for your organisation to get involved with in the Regional Park. We can offer you one off environmental clean-up days, to a day spent gathering essential survey data or even building a pop-up community space!
We can also support opportunities for longer term partnering with organisations who can assist with organisational change and development.
If this sounds like the sort of thing that will work for your staff team please contact us at: info@wandlevalleypark.co.uk
