It has been an incredibly positive journey for our team – inspiring a sense of pride in the understanding that giving even the smallest amounts can make all the difference to others.
WHAT’S THE BEST EXPERIENCE YOU’VE HAD THROUGH YOUR GIVING ACTIVITIES AND BEING A PART OF B1G1?
The study tour to Cambodia this year gave me tremendous insight into the good that can be done and B1G1 has put into action the best way of giving back to society through an interactive platform that engages everyone to get involved.
DOES ANYBODY IN YOUR TEAM HAVE AN INTERESTING GIVING STORY TO SHARE?
Our employee of the week is rewarded with a credit that they may allocate to charities of their choice and we have had tears of joy from members of staff that felt overwhelmed with happiness to support others in the world by selecting projects that resonate with their beliefs. The next step is to communicate our commitment and optimism to all our wonderful customers in the hope that they too will share our vision and connect with B1G1 going forward.
