Why do Businesses Get Involved?
BCP's ProHelp project matches business people with professional and business skills to community projects and organisations seeking specific kinds of support.
‘ProHelp gives us the ability to offer our services and consultancy without restrictions. The community gets to benefit and we get to build our professional reputation." Nick Cristoforu, Neo-creative"Getting involved in ProHelp was mainly a feel-good thing, but it became a useful training exercise as well. It gives newer staff a project they can get their teeth into and they can take it right from the beginning all the way through to the end." Alex Cowell, Cubeworks
"ProHelp is an excellent way of getting to understand the communities in your area and to network with like-minded professionals who can all work together for the good of the community in which they are based." Giles Ings, DRP Architects
"I bumbled into volunteering, feeling like it would be ‘a good thing to do'. Since then, I've loved the experiences I've had – it feels seriously good to help real people with their worthwhile work. Everyone should find some time to do something because it's good for you, good for them, it's good for our community and good for the wider world." Will McInnes, Nixon McInnes Web Design
