Making connections between business and the community
Connections
Connect your business with the local community through SkillSwap
Summary:
Can you remember back to the days of Multi-Coloured Swap Shop?
Description:
If you remember, as children you could ring into the show and swap the things you no longer needed or wanted with the toy that you had been waiting for. Or simply swap your jungle action man for the urban ranger, and if you were really lucky, you’d get a multi-coloured notepad thrown in too.
Well those heady days have returned, however, this time it’s not toys that are being swapped but skills! Everyone has a talent for something, be it cake-making, gardening, golf, carpentry, computer skills or business related skills, and now is the time to share your skill with others and try out something new yourself.
Business in the Community is running a SkillSwap project in Yorkshire and the Humber with funding from the Learning Revolution Transformation Fund. The project brings education, community and business together to learn something new and to learn about each other, increasing understanding and knowledge in the local community.
We are looking for volunteers to share a hobby, interest or skill that they are passionate about. Skills can be business related, health related, or simply for fun, anything is welcome.
To find out more about the Hull event, or any of the other events across Yorkshire, please have a look at our website and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Organisation:
Business in the Community mobilises business for good. Its members commit to improve the way in which they manage their resources, be that their people or the planet. Its power is the unique platform this creates for collaborative action.
We work across four areas of expertise in the Workplace, Marketplace, Environment and Community. By sharing knowledge and experience, and developing innovative solutions, we are a catalyst for change and a demonstration of the positive impact business can have in society.
