About Connect Dacorum
Connect Dacorum can help your company’s Corporate Social Responsibility objectives
Connect Dacorum assists companies to improve their CSR activities within the local community.
We are the only organisation helping businesses work together, unite with Dacorum based charities and schools and benefit from the rewards of giving back to the local community.
Did you know that 97% of people would think more positively about a company that contributes to their community?
We hold regular networking events which includes a great mix of both charities and businesses (so it’s not just about CSR, you can also reap the benefits of meeting like-minded businesses!).
Our next event is on Thursday 25th April 2024 from 12 noon to 2pm at Shendish Manor Hotel – book your place here
We can also introduce your company to many socially responsible topics, including giving your unwanted office equipment and furniture to local charities, offering your technical experience, volunteering activities and team building opportunities, environmental advice and the employment of disabled or disadvantaged people.
We also run various projects that your staff could get involved in with the local secondary schools.
