City Action
Added on: 02/10/2007In: Volunteering
Ethos are working closely with a community development organisations, City Action. Based in London, their objective is connecting city businesses with in-need development organisations; City Action specialise in supporting London companies in establishing an employee skills-based volunteering programme.
This is something that both Ethos and MLS are passionate about. Each MLS employee can take up to 2 Charity Days per year. Ethos have developed with City Action opportunities for staff to pass on key skills in mentoring younger staff; offering HR and Financial advice to the unemployed; teach communities skills in conflict management and offering CV advice and work experience.
It is a common misconception to view charity as needing to give money, instead here is a scheme unconcerned with wealth, rather tackling the greater issue which is distribute skills and experience. You can volunteer to tackle issues of unemployment, lack of education and lack of confidence. In sharing skills it is possible to provide people with second chances, an incredible restoring gift to an individual and to a community.
If you would like to volunteer for one of these projects please contact info@ethosmls.co.uk who will organise a placement for you or look at
