About

Greenwood Moreland

Business

“We want to formalise our approach to giving back and be more targeted with our contribution to charities, in place of more ad hoc donations, volunteering and fundraising events. What appeals to us about Social Good Connect is the bespoke opportunities that the matching service identifies for people to volunteer beyond the classic ‘painting a wall’. Most people have skills (whether work-related or not) that could be useful to someone in need somehow, even if they don’t realise it! The platform seems to be a great tool for businesses and charities alike, and we are excited to be part of such an ambitious project.” - Andrew Weir, Greenwood Moreland

Ninja Kiwi

Business

“Joining Social Good Connect is a perfect fit for us as a digital company. It’s a brilliant, feel-good volunteering initiative that means our team members can take time out on their own terms to help others. Helping others is an energiser, even for introverts. Everyone has different issues to contend with right now, and volunteering is a great distraction from personal and work challenges.” - David Hamilton, Ninja Kiwi

GolPhin

Business

'What we liked about the concept and the platform was the ability to connect with other businesses and charities and increase our network of like-minded people. The Social Good Connect team has deep knowledge of which charities will fit what we’re about at Golphin and already we’ve identified around 10 that we’d like to explore. We believe that businesses should encourage a team culture where volunteering and giving back is seen as part of work and part of life!' - Calum McPherson, GolPhin

Forth Valley College

Business

“We see Social Good Connect as a professional helping hand in making volunteering happen, especially with less visible charities. The matching service enables our employees to get out and about, allowing them to give back and connect with causes that really interest them. It’s straightforward to use and it eases the pressure and internal admin that often stops organisations getting employee volunteering off the ground. Using Social Good Connect helps you get on and walk the walk and not just talk the talk!” - Ralph Burns, Head of HR, Forth Valley College

Thorntons

Business

'I volunteered with SGC to help with the preparation of activity packs for disabled children in the local area. I liked how the online SGC platform allows you to see what opportunities are available which allows you to decide where you can help without any pressure.' - Nicola McCafferty, Thorntons

ESOL Perth

Charity

'Social Good Connect has had a clear and definitive positive impact on our business and our students.
