With the help of the people who work for us, we have supported some great causes close to our heart.
Grassroots sports are vital for communities, they promote physical and mental health, strengthen social connections, and foster youth development. They help build community pride and identity and encourage inclusivity and diversity. Grassroots sports can have a lasting impact on our young contributing to healthier, more connected, and resilient communities.
Our sponsorship of local teams have allowed youngsters to get involved with rugby and football and to date we currently sponsor four football teams across Scotland and Northumberland and have a long-standing relationship with Boroughmuir RFC which now includes the Boroughmuir First Team, Academy and the Boroughmuir Banshees.
Our sponsorship goes beyond financial backing. It helps these teams develop talent, improve facilities, and inspire the next generation of athletes.
We believe that education is a key driver of change, and access to quality learning resources is essential for the development of young minds. In line with this belief, Commsworld proudly works with Glasgow-based SmartSTEMs, a charity dedicated to inspiring, engaging and challenging young people to think differently about STEM.
Through our ongoing partnership, Commsworld and SmartSTEMs support digital education initiatives with a series of events and interactive workshops for 10-14 year olds featuring passionate and inspiring speakers designed to engage and open minds. Together we’re making a positive impact by rolling out transformative initiatives, harnessing our young minds and bringing STEM to life with our workshops and events highlighting that STEM is for everyone regardless of gender, race, background or location.
Investing in the future means investing in people, and we’re committed to providing opportunities for the next generation through our apprenticeship programmes. Our apprenticeship schemes are designed to equip young individuals with the skills, knowledge, and experience they need to succeed in their careers.
By offering hands-on experience, mentorship, and training, we empower apprentices to grow and thrive in a real-world environment. These programmes not only benefit the apprentices, but they also contribute to the overall growth of our company, as fresh perspectives and new talent are continuously brought in. We take great pride in watching our apprentices develop into confident, skilled professionals who are well-prepared for a successful career.
Our charity partner this year is CHAS, and we are proud to have raised over £10,000 so far.
Through our CSR days, our staff have the opportunity to take part in a wide range of fundraising events and activities, helping to raise as much money as possible for this incredible cause. All funds raised are matched pound for pound by Commsworld, doubling the impact of every effort.
Over the past year, our employees have shown outstanding commitment and enthusiasm, taking on challenges such as completing the Rob Roy Way and the West Highland Way, as well as participating in the Kiltwalk. We also hosted a successful CHAS Luxury Christmas Hamper Raffle and run a tuck shop, with all proceeds going directly to our Charity of the Year!
As you can see, the dedication and passion shown by our team made it an easy decision to continue our partnership with CHAS for a second year.
