Our Corporate Volunteering opportunities provide a unique experience for organisations across Scotland to give back to the community.
And not only that, they also have some great positive benefits for you and your team too by...
- Promoting positive transformation with corporate volunteering opportunities at Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans;
- Engaging your employees in meaningful, practical tasks that make a real impact; and
- Fulfilling corporate social responsibility objectives by involving your team in hands-on volunteering activities that leave a lasting, positive imprint on the lives of those with sight loss.
Hilti volunteers at Hawkhead
Our Hawkhead Centre welcomed nine volunteers from Hilti - a construction tooling company - for a corporate volunteering day. They were given a tour of the centre and its facilities, learning more about Sight Scotland and Sight Scotland Veterans, spent some time chatting with some of the veterans we support at the centre, and even had the chance to try their hand at axe-throwing!
After this relaxed start, they were then put to work sanding down two of the benches from our gardens to make them ready to be painted for Spring.
We received some wonderful feedback from Hilti about their experience - and on top of that, they have kindly offered to replace the power tools at our veterans' centres, and provide any other tools we need and support to our maintenance crew, which we're hugely thankful for.
