Please select which sector your organisation best fits within and we can make sure you’re signing up in the best place:
We help businesses achieve their ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) goals by making connections across sectors. Businesses can access Learning & Development opportunities, whilst also networking across sectors to generating brand awareness and business leads. In addition, businesses are invited to be part of our local campaigns such as the Giving Tree and RESCUE.
With our help, charities and non-profits can receive targeted support and resources where it’s most needed. Our events offer staff and volunteers learning opportunities and fundraising links, alongside chances to showcase your work. Plus, campaigns such as the Giving Tree and Summer Giving Appeal enable small charities to gain big impact through high profile projects.
We work closely with the University of Reading and local schools, colleges and learning centres. Connecting our education members with over 120 local businesses and organisations, we help them access free resources, events and business partnership possibilities, saving money on tight budgets, as well as improving sustainability.
Connect with local organisations from other sectors to inform, impact and co-deliver your local strategies. Your staff can access cross-sector networking events and learning opportunities, as well as resources for public projects. Connect Reading is embedded in the local community and can support you to reach multiple charities and local businesses.
Supporting local families over the summer.
The Summer Giving Appeal provides Aldi vouchers to help vulnerable families feed, clothe and entertain their children over the summer holidays. Help us to make the summer feel like a holiday for local children.
Connect Reading ensures organisations work together as a community for positive social change. They’re proactive and effective, collaborating to do what’s needed to benefit Reading.
