Event: Building Stronger Communities Taskforce: Innovation in tough times
“Where companies who are downsizing develop innovative partnerships with the third sector, which focus on supporting real need with employee support and supplier engagement, they will build trust and a stronger legacy for the communities they need to serve.” – Dame Julia Cleverdon, DCVO, CBE
