Corporate Volunteers

Corporate volunteers may participate in half or full-day projects, mainly involving gardening, participating in school events, painting, cleaning and other general maintenance tasks.

Most jobs undertaken by Corporate Volunteer groups are of a low risk and require minimal supervision. However for any jobs undertaken by Corporate Volunteers that do involve some risk then appropriate Risk Assessments and Work Method Statements will be required prior to commencement which will include level of supervision provided.

A group of 40 volunteers from Bovis Lend Lease descended on the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children (RIDBC) in support of Community Day to assist with a number of vital projects on Thursday.

Lend Lease Community Day encourages all employees around the world to give something back to local communities. This year, Lend Lease hoped to reach 500,000 volunteering hours on Community Day.
