Ecclesiastical staff supporting the local community
At Ecclesiastical we believe in giving something back to the community.
"Ecclesiastical has a long track record of supporting the local community. We do our best to be a responsible employer, including actively encouraging our staff to get involved with local initiatives. We are committed to making a difference to the communities in which we live and work." Steve Wood, Managing Director UK and Ireland.
Ecclesiastical supports local charities and community organisations through volunteering, staff fundraising and company donations. We believe our staff are best placed to identify what’s important in their local communities. That’s why they nominate the local charities and community organisations that Ecclesiastical support in Gloucestershire and around the country.
Ecclesiastical offers staff one day’s community leave to take part in activities that support our chosen charities. Our support is primarily about providing practical help but Ecclesiastical matches funds raised by staff, up to a maximum amount for each charity. Ecclesiastical also operates a payroll-giving scheme enabling staff to make donations to any registered charity and the company matches 50% of donations up to an agreed limit. We’ve recently been awarded a Payroll Giving Quality Mark as one of just over 800 companies which have set up a scheme which 5% of their staff have signed-up to.
