The sites include its breweries, cideries and offices, and employ more than 2,000 people. Through Neighbourly, Heineken staff will be able to find and help local causes that interest them, and also measure the impact of their involvement both locally and also nationwide. ## Advertisement Jeremy Beadles, corporate relations director at HEINEKEN UK, said: “Our breweries, offices and pubs have been at the heart of local communities for years so it’s really important that we play our part in making them better places to live and work. With seven sites across the UK our partnership with Neighbourly will help us connect with local community causes around our sites, so we can make sure our community investment has a real local impact, but on a national scale.” Since its launch in July 2014, Neighbourly businesses have pledged more than £2,1m, 9,246 volunteer days and 50 tonnes of food surplus, and have backed 486 causes. * **[Islamic Relief launches Friday Five campaign](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/07/08/islamic-relief-launches-friday-five-campaign/)**( 8 July 2016) * **[Buy Social Corporate Challenge celebrates first anniversary & seeks more partners](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/05/16/buy-social-corporate-challenge-celebrates-first-anniversary-seeks-partners/)**( 16 May 2017) * **[National CSR Awards rebrand as Global Good Awards for 2018](https://fundraising.co.uk/2017/06/07/national-csr-awards-rebrand-global-good-awards-2018/)**( 7 June 2017) ![Loading](https://fundraising.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/page-views-count/ajax-loader- 2x.gif)
