Tips on getting help from Businesses Nominate a person who will be a contact for the business Prepare a brief and easily handleable literature about what you want to do and how you want to do it. Be clear about what you want from the business i.e. support, funding, freebies, people to help you etc When writing to a business always address to a named person. Follow up your letter with a phone call a few days later. Attend as many networking meetings as possible. Contact the Corporate Social Responsibility project in your area; Connect Dacorum for the Dacorum area. There are similar projects in Stevenage, Waltham Cross and St Albans. Business in the Community may be able to help. Good luck and keep trying!

What’s in it for You Invitation to 4 free networking conferences per year. 4 Newsletters per year. Free promotion of your CSR activities. Possible financial help for employing disadvantaged persons. Improved staff moral, enhanced reputation and positive PR. Offered first team build free plus others at £250. Regular list of CSR opportunities within the community.
