What we offer
Our programme provides you with all the support, tools and shortcuts to build a successful and robust CSR programme. We understand that time and resources are often short, especially if you do CSR on top of your day job, and as such we have developed our programme this in mind. Businesses who join us receive:
Inspiring, hands-on workshops
Hosted and facilitated by companies with experience in CSR, using an honest and jargon free approach. Topics include:
- What does CSR involve?
- Developing and implementing a CSR programme
- Maintaining momentum of your existing CSR activities
- How to measure and communicate success
Networks
Heart of the City believes that the best way for businesses to learn is from one another and has, through its programme, created a formidable network of companies with varying degrees of experience in CSR who are working together to improve the scale and quality of their programmes.
Network at our events and share experiences with businesses from a range of sectors, each facing their own trials and tribulations - you are not travelling the journey alone!

Why re-invent the wheel? We have an extensive range of materials to help you develop and communicate your programme, including template policies, top tips and case studies. Download our Action Plan to see some of the tools our members have access to.
