Our social impact plan focuses on areas where unemployment and deprivation are a challenge. Working with local schools and charities, we encourage social mobility through personal development opportunities, skills training and education.
We enjoy a long-standing relationship with the charity Schoolreaders, supporting their outreach programme to improve literacy for primary school children. As a Silver Patron of The Prince's Trust, we are funding education programmes for 11- to 16-year-olds that widen access to our industry.
We also work with clients, suppliers, academic institutions and industry bodies to provide work placements, promote diversity and widen access to the property and logistics sector. This includes offering internships through the Reading University Pathways to Property Programme and partnering with the UK-based charity Education and Employers.
