From this year on, staff at Unity Trust Bank will be allowed to spend up to five
days a year volunteering for a charity or voluntary organisation of their choice.

Kevin Turmore, the managing director of Unity, announced this initiative as part
of the bank’s commitment to working with the social economy sector.

Staff are free to choose which projects they support in the community as well as
how they manifest that support. In addition, the Bank are not asking the staff to
match the time they are offering.

Local organisations who have benefitted from the scheme include the Aston Reinvestment
Trust, FutureBuilders and local branches of the Alzheimer’s Society.
