Community Business Partnerships

Outreach 3 Way is very fortunate that it has support from local businesses.

MNH Sustainable Cabin Services (www.mnhscs.com) has 10 years of experience in cabin waste management programmes, MNH offers a suite of sustainable cabin services to the aviation sector.  MNH has supported Outreach 3 Way for many years, recently they raised over £900 through a raffle for 2 tickets to New York with Virgin Atlantic. 

Basepoint Business Centres (www.basepoint.co.uk) provide a wide range of high quality office space and workshops designed for all kinds of small and medium businesses.  In the past year Basepoint have raised money through our taking part in our Shining Star Appeal and the London 10K run.

Volunteer Projects

Outreach 3 Way also receives support through volunteer project days.  One such project involved 50 volunteers based at Gatwick airport from a variety of companies including BAA Gatwick, Virgin Holidays, Thomson, BDO Stay Hayward and Black and Veaten.   They created a 130 metre long path providing safe access to the carpark and is suitable for people using wheelchairs.  Gatwick contractors Dyer & Butler, Costain, Scion & Glendale all contributed with materials, resources and expertise. 

Over 2 days volunteers repaired and replaced fences, landscaped the path and installed garden seating.  New white lines made the car park safer, too. 

Outreach 3 Way CEO Catherine Sweeney commented "We would like to thank the whole airport team for all their hard work, enthusiasm and efforts.  It will make a difference to the centre and the safety of our users.....It really demonstrates the value that these types of community projects can bring to the charity and local people".  

Royal Bank of Scotland

The Horticultural Unit's rest room is where people take a break, meet up for lunch, is used every day, and it was in a sorry state of disrepair.  That was until 11 volunteers from the Royal Bank of Scotland came in laden down with tools and transformed the room.

"We are thrilled at the fantastic job they made of our room" said Horticultural Manager Malcolm Linfield "...we are truly grateful the team from RBS really did make it happen for us".  

Terry Glover of RBS who organised the event, agreed the day was a great success and commented "we all enjoyed the oppourtunity of working with the charity."

The presentation of a cheque for £500 to support our work was gratefully received.

Glaxo Smithkline Wellcome

Earlier this year volunteers from GSK came and landscaped our garden areas making them far more attractive and far more accessible for our service users. 

All these projects have made a huge impact to the day to day running of the charity.  They have proved to be fantastic team building days and a great way to build links within the community.  If your company or organisation would like to work in partnership with Outreach 3 Way, please contact us - we would be delighted to hear from you.
