Involve Swindon in words

This is what our partners have to say about Involve Swindon:

	Karen Cooke, People Engagement and L&D, RCUK SSC Ltd: “The employees at SSC really wanted to give something back to the local community and being part of Involve has allowed me to make this happen. Working with and as part of Involve has been of huge benefit as I have felt more connected within Swindon and able to identify and offer our staff valuable worthwhile volunteering activities to be part of. It has been a great success. Thank you!”
	Louise Carter, Head of Service Delivery & Business Change, BNY Mellon:“Involve Swindon provides the opportunity for us as an employer to identify community projects for our staff to get involved in. Without Involve Swindon we would not have been able to forge the relationships we have.”
	Jane Butler, Advisor, Charities Information Bureau South & West: “CIB advises local voluntary groups on how to secure what they need to serve the local community. Through Involve Swindon, we are able to help local groups identify what employee volunteers could do for them and help local employers better understand the needs of voluntary groups and how, when their employees volunteer to assist, the employee, employer, and commuinty all benefit.”
	Andrew Spink, General Manager, De Vere Village Swindon:“Involve Swindon is all about encouraging Employers and Employees to be actively engaged in the community in which they work and live. Bringing together the major Businesses of the Town to drive the initiative demonstrates the commitment and encourages all types of Businesses to participate. Participating individuals are able to use their skills outside of the workplace and develop their own skills whilst contributing to many Voluntary organisations who just need that little extra help.”
	Dr Andy Tait, Operations Manager, Intel:“Intel is a big supporter of volunteer work at all levels with Intel employees consistently giving more than 1 Million hours of their time on an annual basis. Involve Swindon is a great initiative that helps like minded companies really integrate into the community and be a part of it by helping employees volunteer.”
	Natasha May, Volunteering Manager, Nationwide Building Society.: ““If it weren’t for the opportunities provided through Involve Swindon, our employee volunteering programme simply wouldn’t be where it is today
	Quotes from Volunteers: “I keep building up new professional and technical skills and I feel really good knowing that my efforts are helping people who need it and appreciate it.” “I offered my IT skills to a local charity via the Involve Swindon website. This experience has made me realise just how dependant these types of organisations are on help from anyone who can offer it
