Workspace has played a key role in the employment-led regeneration of areas across London for over 30 years now, and building communities and improving our neighbourhoods over the long term is an important part of our business strategy.
As well as bringing employment into emerging areas as we launch new or refurbished properties, we also go out into the local communities to offer employment-focused support to disadvantaged young people, such as careers workshops and work experience.
In addition to the ESG Committee, we have a Charity, Social & Wellbeing Committee, which oversees fundraising, volunteering and social activities for employees and customers.
This year, we conducted a review of our social impact activity to help us build on our existing social impact strategy around employment-led regeneration in London. We understand that our communities need businesses like ours to help them, particularly as they recover from the pandemic.
The review resulted in prioritising the following initiatives:
Employment-led regeneration is at the heart of the business. I want our activity to have a real impact on the local community.
