Norwich Union and children’s charity NCH have won the Community Service Volunteers (CSV) Make A Difference Day Awards after winning the best employee team volunteering event.
A team of 50 volunteers from Norwich Union’s Life Telebusiness area transformed a garden using ideas put forward by the young
carers at the NCH Willows project in King’s Lynn, Norfolk. They created a quiet area with flower beds and a sea scene mural where the children and young people can relax.
David Czerwinski, head of community at Norwich Union, said: “The employee volunteering programme, part of our ‘Young Lives, Our Future’ partnership with NCH, is all about giving employees the opportunity to make a difference in their local community, which fits well with the aims of CSV’s Make a Difference Day.”

people with the help they need to reach their potential. Norwich Union is
investing £1.4 million into the partnership over a five-year period. It
forms part of a larger Norwich Union sponsorship programme aimed at
investing in the future of our children.
