The Twelve Milestones of Work for Good
We’re sure you have heard of ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ song. This week’s newsletter features the lesser known ‘Twelve Milestones of Work for Good’!
Thousands raised for charity
The most important milestone of all. Work for Good provides a new revenue stream for charities that will soon raise millions of pounds each year, whilst also benefitting those businesses that participate. We’re already well on our way!
73 Accounts created
In just 4 months, 73 businesses of all shapes and sizes across the UK have created their Work for Good account.
52 Charities registered
We’re delighted that our list of registered charities includes major brands such as British Heart Foundation, Diabetes UK, Sue Ryder, WaterAid and Plan UK as well as smaller or local charities such as Red Balloon, Burgh House and The Walk Centre.
50 Projects completed
Work for Good projects vary from business to business as there are so many ways to do Work for Good. For example, some have chosen to donate a fixed amount for every new client they have worked with this year. Others have chosen to donate a percentage of each piece of work completed.
45 Sectors covered
It seems the Work for Good approach can be applied across almost any sector. Our currently registered businesses cover a whole range including: Branding and design, Recruitment, Business Consultancy, Market Research, Engineering, Beauty and Web Design.
