At Westminster Business Council, we are proud to reflect on the success of our ESG in Property & Construction – Social Value, Volunteering & Christmas Fayre event, held at The London Centre in partnership with NLA last week. With over 120 businesses in attendance, the event proved to be an inspiring gathering, fostering collaboration, generosity, and a shared commitment to creating meaningful social value across London.
A Powerful Meeting of Business & Community
The event brought together leading businesses, charities, and community organisations, all dedicated to making a real impact in London. With 10 incredible charities in attendance, the discussions and networking opportunities went beyond the usual business exchanges—focusing on how companies can actively contribute to social value through volunteering and partnerships.
Fundraising Success
A major highlight of the event was the charity raffle, which raised over £1,700 to support the vital work of the charities present. This generous contribution reflects the power of bringing together the business community to support and uplift those in need, particularly during the festive season.
Building Meaningful Partnerships
Beyond fundraising, the event sparked new partnerships between businesses and charities, paving the way for long-term volunteering opportunities, corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, and direct community impact. These collaborations will enhance social value across London, ensuring that businesses play an active role in supporting local communities and social causes.
