Neighbourly

Neighbourly businesses and good causes are making a measurable difference to people and planet every day. 👨🔧 Join them, and us, as we deliver £1 billion of impact into communities by 2025.

🏃 Our Client Impact Manager Theo Allen is deep into his training for Brighton Marathon in April, and has almost reached his goal of £1,000 raised for the Neighbourly Foundation! The money donated will be distributed to good causes in the Neighbourly network who are doing wonderful things for people in need and creating meaningful impact in their local community. Head to the JustGiving page to show your support 💙

It’s always a pleasure to attend events and share conversation with people who care about the same things we do.🙌 Yesterday, Theo Allen joined New West End Company at their 2025 Sustainability Showcase for a morning sharing ideas and learning from attendees from their partner businesses. Theo showcased our volunteering, donation management and surplus redistribution solutions to members of the West End BID to provide members with insights on how they can progress on their respective sustainability journeys. 🗣️He said “It was inspiring to connect with like-minded professionals who are passionate about driving positive change and to hear first-hand about the incredible initiatives shaping the future of the West End.”

🧶Last week, a group of Neighbourly colleagues spent an afternoon learning to crochet in order to create handmade hearts for Children's Hospital Pyjamas who will package them with the pyjamas donated to children in hospitals, hospices and women’s refuges. Two matching hearts are donated with the pyjamas so that the child can keep one for themselves and share the other with a loved one, keeping them connected even when they may be apart.❤️❤️ Thank you to the team who volunteered their time to this cause, we know it will mean a lot to all the children who receive this gift. Want to learn more about the good cause or even crochet your own hearts for them? Head to the link in the comments.

📣 Two exciting Neighbourly updates hitting the headlines today This week we officially launched our Surplus Saviours product capability - with Neighbourly founding partner Marks and Spencer being the first to successfully trial it! This initiative offers individuals the opportunity to collect free surplus food from stores where a good cause is unable to. This expansion of our food redistribution programme will significantly increase the amount of good quality meals redistributed within local communities, and support our retail partners in reducing their waste.💙🌍 In another amazing step forward for food redistribution, we've also worked with Cornwall Council to remove the restrictions associated with the time surplus use-by date food is collected so that it aligns with consumer guidance. This is a major win and we're so proud to have led this change.👏 Read this article from The Grocer to find out more > https://lnkd.in/ecTF3fJQ
