Eleanor Musgrove (Ellie) and Megan Perry from TH March’s Claims team have spent a day volunteering with Routeways, helping to maintain its outdoor spaces and support the charity’s work with young people.
During their visit, Ellie and Megan spent the morning sweeping leaves from pathways and helping with composting, before cutting back flower hedges and creating flower garland decorations in the afternoon.
Ellie said: “We had a brilliant day with Routeways, seeing first-hand the fantastic support they provide for young people. Megan and I spent the morning sweeping leaves from the pathways and helping with composting, before spending the afternoon cutting back flower hedges and creating flower garland decorations for the space. It was great to get involved and support such a valuable charity that makes a real difference in the community.”
Megan said: “The Employee Supported Volunteering Day was a great opportunity to step away from the desk and do something productive with a community focus. Routeways were really accommodating and allowed us to be creative whilst reconnecting with and helping Plymouth community and culture.”
Making a difference together
Their visit was supported through TH March’s Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV) scheme, which gives colleagues the opportunity to dedicate time during working hours to causes that matter to them and make a positive contribution to their local communities.
As an employee-owned business, TH March believes its people are central to its success. Supporting colleagues to volunteer is one way we put our people-first values into practice, encouraging them to build connections, support worthwhile causes and make a difference beyond their day-to-day roles.
A big thank you to Routeways for welcoming Ellie and Megan and for the important work the charity does to support young people.
