Fighting climate change

Our Carbon Reduction Plan outlines our current carbon footprint and the way in which we aim to be Net Zero by 2035. We operate a ‘paper free’ office and recycle all IT equipment. New IT purchases are considered with sustainability in mind and only made where necessary. We offset our environment impact through donations to Trees for Life and are in the process of becoming a Silver Partner.

Covid-19 recovery

We have modified and improved workplace conditions that support the COVID-19 recovery effort including the implementation of effective social distancing, remote working, and sustainable travel solutions.

Tackling economic inequality

We are a member of the Living Wage UK. Our membership confirms we pay all staff at least the national minimum wage but in addition our membership enables Living Wage UK to promote their agenda to bring more businesses and employers into the scheme.

Equal opportunity

We donate to Access UK, a charity that supports BME youth employment and job creation in the community.

Wellbeing

We provide training opportunities for staff to upskill them in interests related to social care and IT in the workplace but also personal/social interests on a case-by-case basis. These workplace and social training opportunities are part of our package to attract and retain the highest quality staff, improving their working conditions and providing opportunities. We offer and have offered flexible working for many years and operate a bonus structure as well as mentoring by company founders among many other benefits.
