Q.  How do you enable businesses to connect with the community and bring about change?

A.  Among many others we have helped Marks & Spencer create opportunities for disadvantaged children.  Legal and General sponsored a project for low-income students.  We persuaded the Eden Project to work with Cancer Research UK (CRUK).  Tesco backed our Mum's the Word campaign for the Learning and Skills Council.  We've helped design a community centre for Sainsbury's.  We are working with BT and OneLondon to connect people from deprived areas to the Internet and use it to change their lives in positive ways.  Boots sponsored our information pack for The Carers Association and many of our projects are sponsored by the European Union.

Result?

Through working in partnership with a number of businesses we have added value to projects and improved outcomes for our target audiences.
