Case Study: EDF Energy and Wilton Way Youth Club
Members of the Networks HR Resourcing team volunteered at Wilton Way Youth Club in Hackney in order to support an ambitious project run by the Youth Club and Envision. The project aimed to provide carbon neutral creative learning activities for children at the youth centre. The activity followed on from the successful EDF Energy Volunteer Challenge to mark ‘Green Britain Day’, which involved a volunteer team working with young people from both Wilton Way and Envision.
‘I was so inspired by the young people I met at Wilton and from Envision. Many of them are students who volunteer a great deal of their time to help the local community and have a passion for ensuring we act sustainably. I learnt a lot about the sheer volume of free newspapers that end up on the tube everyday and how most of them are left there and are just sent to landfill – it is astonishing. I will now encourage everyone to take their paper home with them and recycle it!’ - Emma Nichols, Head of Resourcing EDF Energy
Thank you to Telereal Trillium
Envision would like to show our great appreciation to Telereal Trillium for allowing us the free use of one of their venues in Battersea for our volunteer training event on November 4th. The event will help develop understanding of youth culture in our volunteers, increasing their effectiveness as youth mentors.
Telereal Trillium invests in and manages property and has generously supported Envision’s events by providing us with a venue free of charge from their property portfolio. This kind of support is really valuable to Envision; not only does it save the charity a great deal of money, it means that we can host events for our young people, volunteers and funders in really lovely buildings.
“We are keen to help the local community where we can and this is a great way of doing it” - Susan Cain, Head of Corporate Responsibility
