COMMUNITY
From team challenges to individual volunteering and in-kind donations of meeting room use or printing facilities there are so many ways that your organisation can help the local community using the existing skills and resources.

WORKPLACE
From mentoring, work experience placements and shadowing to payroll giving and fundraising we put you in touch with local projects and initiatives to make the best use of resources.

ENVIRONMENT
Connect Reading created a free Go4Green code to help businesses in their environmental sustainability journeys. Keeping up to date with local environmental events to recycling redundant office items into the voluntary and community sector we help you connect.

MARKETPLACE
Reading has one of the UK's highest economic activity rates at 85%. Connect Reading works closely with Reading UK CIC and Reading Chamber of Commerce to ensure that we can maintain these high activity rates together.
