Social Value Zone
Come along and meet CHIC's charity CHIP and associated partners. Since its launch, towards the end of 2022, CHIP has partnered with a number of new Local Employment Groups in the West Midlands, London and Wales.
Some of these will be showcasing the great outcomes from effective collaboration and demonstrating how CHIP and its partners can help your organisation achieve added social value.
CHIP seeks to bring positive, sustainable changes to people's lives by supporting:
- Training and apprenticeships through CHIC's contractors and suppliers
- Employment sponsorship, delivering training and jobs for people distant from the workplace
- Projects in communities that are local to CHIC's members, via a Community Chest Fund
- Recognition of individual achievements through learning and personal development
