“As architects and placemakers we
obviously have a special interest in
the place where we work – both our
own building, its surrounding area
and initiatives like Bankside Urban
Forest. Better Bankside is the best
medium through which individual
voices may act in concert in support
of their community. That’s why we support Better Bankside.”
Chris Bennie, TP Bennett
CommunityConnecting Businesses with their Community
Better Bankside connects businesses with local residents, schools and community groups.
Through our community engagement programme we help member companies meet their corporate responsibility objectives. We have a particular focus on the young people of Borough and Bankside and their families.
The key elements of our programme are:
| Community Partners |
Five local community organisations have been selected to receive grants and benefit from our support for three years up to 2013 |
| Volunteering | Sign up here to receive the vbrief, a bi-monthly e-newsletter with individual volunteering opportunities for those working in Bankside |
| Linking businesses with the community | Better Bankside can help connect your business with local organisations and charities. Visit Easy Ways to Get Involved for some ideas or contact us. |
| Work experience |
We run a summer Events Academy programme and also work with schools |
| Homelessness | Together at Christmas is a hand-up for Bankside's homeless. Volunteering, fundraising and a huge Christmas gift collection for local homeless organisations. |
| Employ SE1 | Free recruitment service to help Bankside businesses hire local residents www.employ-se1.co.uk |
There are many ways to get involved. Contact Danielle Cohen on 020 7928 3998 or dc@betterbankside.co.uk for more information
