People Need People

The People Need People project, initiated by the Mayor of Uckfield, aims to strengthen the bond between local charities and businesses.
This initiative, run by us at Wealden Volunteering and with support from the Uckfield Chamber of Commerce, encourages charities to seek business support for their practical needs, and provide businesses with links to fulfil their Social Value goals.
By fostering these partnerships, the project not only helps charities thrive but also creates opportunities for businesses to enhance their reputation, boost employee morale, and contribute positively to the community.
If you’re either a business or charity, consider the benefits of signing up to form a local partnership.
For Businesses:
- Enhance Your Social Value: By offering your expertise and resources, you can make a significant impact on local charities. Whether it’s providing financial advice, helping with marketing strategies, or offering hands-on support like decorating or landscaping, your contributions can make a world of difference.
- Benefits to Your Business: Emphasising Social Value not only helps the community but also improves your business reputation, boosts employee morale, and fosters a sense of pride and purpose within your team.
For Charities:
- Identify Your Needs: Think about the practical support you require. Do you need an accountant to navigate a challenging financial period? Or perhaps volunteers to help with a renovation project? Whatever your needs, reaching out to local businesses can provide the support you need to thrive.
- Collaborate for Success: By partnering with businesses, you can gain access to valuable skills and resources that can help you achieve your mission more effectively.
Join Us in Making a Difference: Together, we can create a stronger, more supportive community. Businesses, consider how you can give back and make a lasting impact. Charities, don’t hesitate to reach out and seek the help you need. Let’s work together to build a brighter future.
