As a Carer Positive Employer, we provide support to our charity partner Voice of Carers Across Lothian (VOCAL), helping them in areas such as communication, IT support, fundraising and sponsorship. This allows them to focus on what they do what they do best - providing vital services and support to carers across Edinburgh and Midlothian, whose important work is often unpaid and goes largely unnoticed.
Partnering with The Edinburgh Remakery helps us sustain our commitment to minimising waste and reducing our impact on the environment. They are an environmental social enterprise who offer an environmentally friendly means for us to dispose of unwanted IT equipment and computers. Any IT equipment they receive, they repair and refurbish 95%, selling them on at affordable prices as well as gifting a proportion to vulnerable groups, other charities and social enterprises.
Several members of our team are also proud volunteers with the Scottish Tech Army. In donating their time and expertise to this volunteer technical response team they help the Scottish Government, Local Authorities, and other organisations across the country with rapid technical development projects to address Covid-19 related challenges and support the post pandemic economic recovery across Scotland.
One of our CSR objectives is to play a positive role in society, encouraging employee volunteering and fundraising for Charity and Community Projects. As a result, our people regularly volunteer to help the Scottish Ambulance Service, providing ambulance crews with teas, coffee, snacks and moral support while they are waiting at A&E for their patients to be admitted.
