Our Work with We Are Grow
As part of our commitment to social value, we are supporting community initiatives that align with our sustainability goals. One such initiative is the Grow Cook Share (GCS) Project, which had another successful year in 2024.
With confirmed funding for 2025, We Are Grow is continuing to expand the programme, and we are supporting its next phase of development. A new project lead will soon be joining the team to explore ways for past participants to stay engaged.
Our ongoing partnership with We Are Grow reflects our commitment to supporting sustainable initiatives that go beyond business. By working together, we are ensuring that local businesses and communities continue to benefit from sustainability-focused programmes that create lasting change.
Working with our digital inclusion partner Age UK supporting citizens over the age of 55 within Barnet.
Laptops were provided to Age UK Barnet to support their IT sessions, helping older individuals learn to use computers. These sessions include improving communication with family and friends, accessing the convenience of online shopping, managing energy bills and benefits, and exploring digital entertainment like movies, books, and music, along with other computer support tailored to individual needs.
Maureen, a new client – 74, lives with her partner, wanted to apply for pension credit so she could still get the winter fuel allowance. She had a small old iPhone but was so happy that she could use a new laptop and complete this form herself with help from one of our volunteers in just 20 minutes.
Isabelle, pictured left – 72, lives alone, came to a Monday afternoon session and used one of the new laptops as she wanted to learn how to search on Google. She was so grateful and happy when she left and said ‘you have made my day’.
