Camarilla Group works a great deal in the area of social value / corporate social responsibility. We help our clients explain what social value is, its importance to communities and potential business growth, and we are constantly highlighting the work of our clients and their impact across Wales and the wider UK.
But we don’t just talk about it, we act on it. Our Director, Paul Shackson, is now volunteering with the Welsh Refugee Council (WRC) https://wrc.wales/ offering support with its corporate engagement and helping identify funding stream opportunities, particularly around the WRC’s work on employability.
He commented: “It’s all very well banging the drum of social value in Camarilla’s day to day work with journalists, the public, politicians and businesses, but I felt I needed to do more and to put into practice what I was preaching.
“To support the Welsh Refugee Council with its vitally important work is an absolute honour and I’m really looking forward to trying to make a difference wherever I can, no matter how small. I would encourage any business to look where it can offer support to charities and community organisations and to bring their own clients and supply chain on that journey. Don’t think of it as a ‘nice to do’ exercise, it should be a key part of your business strategy moving forward.”
