We’re delighted to announce that EE and BT have chosen two outstanding local charities to support as part of their 2025 Community Challenge initiative. This year’s programme will see significant investment of time and resources, with thousands of volunteer hours pledged by employees to help transform community spaces and services.
This exciting initiative has been developed through our Sector Connector project, which brings together the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector with local businesses to create meaningful partnerships and lasting impact.
As part of this year’s challenge:
- EE Tyneside will be partnering with Whitley Bay Young People’s Centre
- BT Gosforth will work alongside the 9th Whitley Bay Scouts
Both organisations will benefit from a full-scale makeover, with hands-on support and practical improvements driven by dedicated teams of staff volunteers.
This initiative highlights the power of corporate partnerships in strengthening the voluntary and community sector, and we look forward to seeing the impact unfold in the coming months.
