Community Development

Employees from our member companies are making a valuable contribution to improving Stratford and creating visible changes across the community.

Dirty Hands, a community food growing project in Plaistow was supported by a team of volunteers from Morgan Stanley who helped prepare an urban area for local people to grow fruit and vegetables.

Forty volunteers from Freshfields painted the outside of St Dominic’s Primary School in Homerton, which saved the school £500 and 5 day’s worth of work for the school premises manager.

Accenture volunteers created a reading area in Discover’s story-making centre in Stratford, as a quiet place for families to read a book together. The Operations Coordinator at the centre said “the work Accenture has done makes story times even brighter for our young visitors and their families.”
