Bexley

Bexley is an area of south-eastern Greater London, England and part of the London Borough of Bexley. It is sometimes known as Bexley Village or Old Bexley to differentiate the area from the wider borough. It is located 13 miles (21 km) east-southeast of Charing Cross and south of Bexleyheath.

Bexley was an ancient parish in the county of Kent. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Bexley increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1935 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965.

Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV)
ESV is when you support your staff to take part in volunteering opportunities, usually during work hours. It’s also sometimes called corporate volunteering. The volunteering activities can be practical or skills-based. An example of practical volunteering would be helping out at a local community garden. A skills-based volunteering example would be designing a website for a charity.
Volunteering is a great way of getting your staff involved in a local group, supporting residents, whilst utilising your staffs skills and developing a community spirit.
