CITIZENSHIP

Support for high impact community investment

We devise tailored community projects and programmes that are strategically relevant to business and that make a significant difference to communities.

We believe that Citizenship is much more than a strand of a Corporate Responsibility strategy – it is a way to understand, engage in and act upon business issues, from employee engagement to innovation.

It is about embracing local community themes and big societal issues and it is linked to the wider purpose of an organisation.

Those are the considerations we have in mind when we’re supporting businesses with their Citizenship agendas, whether in a consultative or delivery role.

We are experienced at devising and running bespoke volunteering projects, often for senior teams, that tap into their business knowledge and experience.

When we set up business charity partnerships, we aim for relationships that are based on two-way flow of resources, knowledge and expertise.

Behind the scenes we support with community programme creation, strategy and measurement & evaluation.

Diversity & inclusion is a big topic and we are practised at helping businesses to understand more about disability, social mobility and LGBT through tailored, immersive projects.

“Three Hands challenged us to engage our team in non-traditional ways. Their thoughtfulness in the creation of a community engagement initiative resulted in an incredibly valuable experience for us and our charity partners.”

James Lohan, Founder and CEO, Mr & Mrs Smith
