PSG, originally founded in 1996, is a managed corporate social responsibility model that matches the donated time of professional firms across the Tees Valley free of charge to the needs of local charities, in a simple yet effective way, ensuring the support touches those organisations where it is needed most. It also links a network of like-minded firms though events, local press and regular newsletters. Each year, throughout the U.K., over £4 million worth of free professional time is set aside by firms to advise local community organisations in addition to the general business guidance given in a voluntary capacity at senior and board levels. Hundreds of voluntary groups have already received support and advice on their accounting and management systems, the structural condition of their properties, how to obtain charitable status and the design or alteration of their buildings. Hundreds more benefit from the support offered by individuals from professional firms who volunteer their own time and offer general business guidance and support. Due to the changing climate and the reduction in grants available to the voluntary sector, the demand for expert advice as well as broad business skills is growing all the time and, in response, PSG offer access to a wide range of professional expertise from over 136 local professional businesses within the Tees Valley. With the support of PSG, local community organisations are making an even greater impact on the lives of local communities than ever before.
PSG is committed to community development ensuring the appropriate support is given at the appropriate time. If you would like to get involved with PSG - perhaps by donating some time, or to make an application, or even to talk about new ideas or new projects please do get in touch with us, we would love to hear from you.
