3. Community Involvement

This award will go to a business which can show its proactive commitment to putting something back into the local community.

This could be by:

• Providing financial support to community projects
• Giving practical assistance in terms of time or expertise
• Allowing charities, schools or community organisations to benefit from the resources of the business.
• Particular emphasis will be placed upon the proportionate investment by your business in terms of time and effort as opposed to pure cash contributions.
