Community360 Business Bank brings local community organisations and businesses together to provide share their expertise
Community groups are able to access invaluable professional advice or practical help from more than 50 businesses. In return, businesses are able to gain experience working with charitable partners.
- For charities, it enables them to learn more about the services local businesses have to offer and to access expert support such as: H.R, marketing, legal services, accountancy, design, construction, etc.
- For businesses, it provides an opportunity to support charities and groups in their local community, raise awareness of their services, develop new business opportunities and build partnerships with other organisations.
Exchanges can take place at any time during the year but regular networking meetings are held to bring partners together.
Once paired, businesses and community groups may choose to work in partnership, share resources, donate support or time, offer discounted rates or simply agree to provide a ‘paid for’ service.
