Recruitment specialist Eden Brown has supplied TimeBank with a team of trained call
centre staff to support TimeBank’s campaign to encourage more people to sign up 
for voluntary work during National Volunteers Week.
Eden Brown has provided an experienced
team of temporary workers to take incoming calls from those registering as volunteers
during Volunteers Week, which runs from 1 to 7 June 2006. These workers will also
help TimeBank to match their skills and interests with local opportunities which
need support.

Ian Wolter, Chief Executive of Eden Brown explained: “Voluntary work is something
which Eden Brown and many employers truly value as part of a candidate’s credentials.

“As a company we strongly believe in what can be achieved through volunteering and
such a high profile campaign provides the perfect opportunity to encourage more 
people to register for local charity work, which fits around their own commitments.

“We were delighted to be approached by TimeBank to help with this cause and sincerely
hope that this year’s campaign engages more new recruits.”

Eden Brown’s corporate responsibility programme encourages all of its employees 
to offer their skills and time to local charities and community projects, as part
of an ongoing effort.

The company has been awarded the ‘Two Tick – Positive about Disabled People’ accreditation
and has been recognised as an Age Positive Champion, in opposing all forms of unlawful
and unfair discrimination.

TimeBank is also working with GMTV to highlight the importance of volunteer work
in the UK and inspire its viewers to sign up for local projects.
