REC Charity Partner
The REC has a long history of supporting charities that help people from all backgrounds to develop their skills, get into work and build a better future for themselves.
Our current charity partner St. Giles Trust help people who have experienced abuse, poverty, exploitation, or have been caught up in crime. By looking at everything a person needs to turn things around, whether that’s a roof over their heads, training, advice, or help getting into work, they enable young people to look to a brighter future.
St. Giles works with people who are most in-need in our society. The importance of work and opportunity isn’t lost on any of us. Recruitment is about helping everybody to live their best lives. As an industry we should be proud of the positive impact our work has for our candidates, their families, and wider society.
We are extremely proud to support such an important charity. They really demonstrate the transformative change that can be achieved by making great work happen. That’s something recruiters everywhere can get behind.
