Team Volunteering with a Spectacular View!
Staff from Turner & Townsend Leeds office have taken part in a range of volunteering activities across Kirklees as part of their corporate and social responsibility actions in the Kirklees area. TSL Volunteering team were able to connect Turner and Townsend with a range of local community groups/charities and opportunities for their staff to get involved with local environmental initiatives.
We caught up with five Turner and Townsend colleagues on a very blustery Friday at Castle Hill where they volunteered for the day with Castle Hill Ranger, Julian.
The group carried out some vegetation clearance along a well-used pathway to improve the environment.
Comments from staff taking part were very positive:
“Great day spent with colleagues in the great outdoors and not a computer in sight!”
“It is fantastic that my employer and Third Sector Leaders Kirklees can get together to arrange these days. It gives us the chance to give something back and get away from the office for a day!”
