Giving back to our local community is a huge part of our work here at Rock Kitchen Harris, and we’re making sure that is reflected in our approach to Corporate Social Responsibility.

We know that we can make an impact with local charities, and we’re committed to doing so through a range of channels, from fundraising to marketing support.

Keeping it local to Leicester is important to us, and we’re proud to have forged some strong bonds with local causes.

We work closely with The Y, a youth homelessness charity, and we also have a long-standing relationship with Leicestershire Cares, who forge partnerships between businesses and young people. Our work with Leicestershire Cares covers a number of projects, including:

  • Providing design services and creative for marketing, media and PR projects
  • Running a series of mock interviews for SEN students at Millgate School
  • Hosted a ‘Speedy Speakers’ careers session at Beauchamp School

What we really love about working with Leicestershire Cares is the fact they facilitate team building and challenges for companies within the local community. They help to bridge the gap by building camaraderie and connections – but also making a huge difference to young people at a local level that need it most. I’m extremely passionate about ensuring that we and other businesses in the county play an active role in making a difference on our own doorstep.

Jamie Mollart, Client Services and Strategy Director at Rock Kitchen Harris, has been a member of the Board of Directors at Leicestershire Cares since 2016.

Throughout the agency, there’s a real desire to get involved with more charitable causes, and so we’re excited to launch a new agency-wide initiative called ’Give Back Days’.

The initiative encourages everyone in the team to volunteer for a Leicestershire-based charity or cause that matters to them most. This volunteering takes the form of a day’s paid leave that can be used at any point throughout the year.

Finally, we’re proud to announce that we’ve been nominated as a Finalist in the Leicestershire Cares Awards 2022 for an Outstanding Contribution.

We support the charity on an ongoing basis across design, marketing and volunteer work including mock interviews and careers sessions at local schools, and we’re delighted to be nominated for this award.

We’ll be keeping you updated on how our team choose to spend their Give Back Days. In the meantime, wish us luck in the awards!
