In May, as part of Business in the Community’s annual Give & Gain Day, Grant Thornton employees raised over £7000 for SCT!
Staff from Grant Thornton took part in the SCT charity shop challenge whilst others helped students from our social enterprise, Restoration Station, write CVs, and perfect their interview techniques.
“It was really helpful. It was great to have someone clear headed to help me sort out my thoughts”Mark, Restoration Station trainee.
“The Grant Thornton teams really took on the challenge and increased each shop’s taking by over 50%. They did everything from dressing up as aliens and dragons to offering personal styling to raise the day’s takings.” Mike, Events Fundraising Officer, SCT
“The day was excellent, I learnt how important it is to let others lead and develop their skills. I also learnt a lot about social media! The whole team were great, willing to muck in and apply themselves to whatever was asked of them. We’re very grateful all round and hope to benefit from Give & Gain day again next year”. Sheona, Restoration Station Manager.
