The annual Community Impact Bucks conference is here again, exploring the theme of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and how charities and businesses can benefit from working together.

With the challenges that both sectors face in this changing world, this is an excellent opportunity for like-minded people from both businesses and the voluntary sector to meet and learn about current CSR models and practices. As well as presentations from leading figures in the corporate and charity sectors, there is the chance to participate in workshops centring around real concerns at a practical and local level. This is an opportunity not to be missed!

There are also partnering opportunities for businesses who wish to get further involved with the event which can be found here.
