Ride High Impact Report 2023 - Report - Page 10
OUR CORPORATE
SUPPORTERS
We are fortunate to have received support from many
businesses and organisations across Milton Keynes who
are just as passionate about making a difference to
young lives as we are.
Together we have worked in a variety of ways that
extend beyond purely financial input. Businesses have
offered their time, expertise, skills and the commitment
of their employees, and we have built strong
partnerships that are beneficial to both parties.
Many organisations now offer their employees one or
more volunteering days throughout the year, allowing
them to select a charity to 8help out9. Several teams used
their time to help onsite at Ride High, others organised a
fundraising initiative or arranged a special event or visit
to their workplace to educate our members about what
they do. Some businesses offered their employees more
flexibility and allowed them to use their time to volunteer
at Ride High on a weekly basis for an hour or two for a
term (twelve weeks). Volunteering in this way allowed
individuals to have an even greater impact and a more
rewarding personal experience.
Fun and educational visits are an important
part of our programme. We were fortunate
to visit Red Bull Racing for a behind-thescenes tour.
.
Teams from longstanding supporter SIS
volunteered for the day in our community
garden and donated Christmas gifts for our
members.
“Ride High aligns with our Stop Hunger Foundation
goals by empowering those in our local community to
gain new skills they can use for their future. We
provide skills based and hands on volunteering
opportunities for our employees with local charities.
