EVERYONE wants to be good and do their bit, but where do we start, and how do we find the time? The last year has seen a boom in the number of people looking to volunteer. Youth- Net, home of the UK’s volunteering website do-it.org.uk, recorded a massive rise of 115% in the number of people applying to volunteer in 2008 compared to 2007.


Some volunteers are choosing to devote


their time to good causes in order to help their quest for employment during the recession while others are simply looking to give some: thing back to the community and leam new skills. Whatever the reasons, volunteering is very much of the moment and a ‘win win’ for all involved. Volunteering has long been a key part of


large companies’ commitment to social responsibility. More creative, innovative, engaging and, most importantly, more fulfill: ing for employees than simply donating finan­ cially: the benefits are huge for all concerned. One such company is Honda. As part of its


long-established commitment to being a ‘com­ pany society wants to exist’; its philosophy revolves around doing (often small) things which make a big difference. Whether it’s cre­ ating a zero emission car, a motorcycle rvith an airbag or a generator to power an Antarctic expedition, the company is a team of ‘doers’. Recently 60 Honda (UK) staff took a day


out to help with three projects close to its headquarters near Slough in Berkshire. Over the day the team rejuvenated a nursery for people with learning disabilities and an allot­ ment for people without gardens; as well as cleaning the depths and surroundings of the Slough Canal Basin...filling 40 refuse sacks and unearthing a mattress and plastic baby doll amongst other things! Felicity McClintock, Volunteer Co-ordina­


tor for British Waterways London, which looks after the canal appreciated the effort: “British Waterways is thrilled by the hard work an d enthusiasm of Honda’s staff involved in the recent clean up event. We real­ ly appreciate the support of volunteers who give up their time to help us keep the water­ ways clean and tidy for all to enjoy. Every year we spend £100 million maintaining the UK’s canals and rivers, removing everything from aluminium cans to shopping trolleys from the water and towpaths.” Emma Knight, who works for Honda (UK)


and volunteered at Cherry Orchard Allot­ ments said: “The team spirit was amazing. Everyone got stuck in, had a great laugh and thoroughly enjoyed giving something back to the local community. We all left with a great buzz and are still talking about it in the corri­ dors. We can’t wait for the next time.” Just a week later a six-strong team from Honda’s PR department successfully braved the Three Peaks Challenge, climbing more than 11,000 feet in (26.5 hours) to raise more than £3100 for Child Bereavement Charity, BEN. That’s just 66 stall, in one company, taUng

A CARE home in the Rih- ble Valley is the first in the country to strike gold. The Manor House Nursing


and Residential Home in Chatburn is the first care home in the country to achieve the prestigious Gold Standard for Investors in People. The Manor House now


joins an elite group of less than 1% of all UK employers that have attained Investors in People’s highest accolade, fol­ lowing an intensive three-day inspection. Simon Jones, Chief Execu­


tive of Investors in People UK, said: “Being awarded Investors in People Gold is a fantastic achievement. I t shows that The Manor House is operating at the very high­ est levels of people manage­ ment practice using Investors in People to drive the business forward. Congratulations to everyone within the organisa­ tion.” Maureen Edwards and Joanne Hamilton from


Investors in People North West added: “We were impressed by the exceptional­ ly high standard throughout The Manor House - in fact they exceeded by far the requirements to achieve Gold Standard. “This is the highest score we


have seen from any business since we introduced the gold, silver and bronze accreditation tiers, so the achievement by


The Manor House is a very impressive performance indeed.” The Manor House is a pri­


vately-run nursing and resi­ dential home that cares for more than 50 people. The team of over 80 staff is led by nurse-trained owners Janet and Chris Harrison and their management team, who pride themselves on exceptional standards of care and service


for their clients. Janet said: “We are delighted and proud tha t all the dedication and hard work of the whole team at The Manor House has been recognised with this Gold Award from Investors in Peo­ ple.” Pictured, from the left, are

The company has put a special volunteering search tool on its web site, Honda.co.uk. which matches volunteers to environmentel projects looking for support. Honda is also asking each of its dealers to nominate a locm or national environmental charity - to vmicn it will donate £5 for every Insight test drive taken.

and do some more. Start a to-do list. there’s a million and one ‘do’s’ still to be done.


A TAXI driver who went to collect a fare from Mytton Fold Golf Club was head­ butted by a 26-year-old guest. Blackburn magistrates heard that Paul


Ian Edwards then came at the driver with his arms flailing and shouting racist abuse. Even after he was dragged away by two other people, he picked up a plant pot and threw it at Serfraz Khan. Edwards, of Peel Avenue, Lancaster,


pleaded guilty to racially aggravated assault. He was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report. Miss Charlotte Crane (prosecuting)


said while Mr Khan was waiting for his fare, Edwards came up to his taxi put his head through the window and smd 29 . “Mr Khan was puzzled and Edwards


then repeated the words with an Asian twang, stepped back and took up a fight­


ing stance,” said Miss Crane. “Mr Khan was worried he w ^ gomg to


. be attacked and got out of his vehicle. Edwards came right up to him and then


butted him on the nose.’’ Mr Aftab Bakhat (defending) said


Edwards had no recollection of the inci­ dent, but accepted everythmg the prose­


cution put forward. " . ' ^ 1
