Through our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, Avensys encourages employees to take part in Employee Volunteer Days, supporting charities and community organisations that make a real difference.
We're pleased to recognise Chris Edwards, System Analyst and Data Protection Officer, who recently volunteered with Bewdley Carnival as part of an Avensys Employee Volunteer Day.
Bewdley Carnival is a not-for-profit community event that raises funds for local causes each year. Over six months, Chris designed and managed the carnival website, created the online raffle, and integrated the payment gateway to make ticket sales seamless. His work helped generate around £4,000 in raffle sales, making a significant contribution to the event's fundraising efforts. Chris also volunteered on the day, helping with the firework displays.
Thanks to the dedication of volunteers like Chris, this year's carnival raised £11,500, with all profits being shared between four local causes.
Thank you, Chris, for your commitment and for making such a positive impact in the local community.
