Businesses Wanted
To Help Pride in Bedford tidy up!
2nd Sep 2010
Bedford Borough Council is one of only 11 Local Authority Champions for The Big Tidy Up national campaign run by Keep Britain Tidy. The aim of the campaign is to get as many individuals, groups and businesses out taking part in litter pick events.
Your business can help support the campaign as it enters its last official month (September)
Benefits for businesses taking part;
• Developing Community Partnerships
Volunteering is a clear way to demonstrate your commitment to helping the local community
in which they operate. Employees make excellent ambassadors for your company and their involvement in local volunteering generates positive attitudes towards your company.
• Building a Committed Workforce
Volunteering increases employee job satisfaction, which improves corporate culture and the
recruitment and retention of employees in the long run. Volunteer projects provide employees
with a welcome break from their desks, while having fun collaborating with colleagues in a unique setting and making a meaningful contribution to society.
• Positive Publicity
By taking part in a local and national campaign, your business will be mentioned in press releases and in Council material.
