PwC in the community
In the West Midlands, we are committed to playing a meaningful role, by
developing sustainable partnerships that meet the needs of our communities and
the firm.
Through our community programme we contribute time, skills and resources
across our three key focus areas; education, employability and the environment.
We also offer opportunities to our own people to learn and develop new
skills.
We work closely with a number of organisations, including: Volunteer Reading
Help, Young Enterprise, Prince's Trust and businessdynamics. Last year, 298
volunteers across the Midlands gave 3,783 hours of the firm’s time to support
these programmes.
