IN THE

Unity makes a positive contribution to the communities where it works.
Our team
take part in volunteering and fundraising activities to help causes of their choice.
2014 saw our biggest ever volunteering achievement with 175 days spent helping
community organisations. Here are some of the organisations we supported:
BIG ISSUE
WEST MIDLANDS
To understand the challenges of people faced with homelessness, a team of Unity staff
worked with Big Issue vendors in the local area. They learnt about the history of the
charity, how the Big Issue work to support vendors and met some vendors. They also spent
time trying to sell the magazine to get a glimpse of selling from the vendors point of view.
SPARKHILL
FOODBANK
A team from Unity spent two days with this local foodbank to sort and prepare the
donations to be handed out to individuals and families in need at Christmas time.
Sparkhill Foodbank serves a wide community from people relying on ongoing support at
times of crisis to those requiring a one off food parcel to help get them back on their feet.
ACORNS
CHILDREN'S HOSPICE
Unity staff spent two days at Acorns Children's Hospice to make the hospice, used by
children and their families for respite, as homely and comfortable as possible. In October,
staff helped clear the grounds and outdoor garden area and in November, we got in to the
Christmas spirit and spent time with some of the children to put up the decorations.
