charity events

Our dedication goes beyond finding jobs for people and people for jobs

We consistently demonstrate a wider sense of social responsibility by raising money for our charity partners; giving back to both the local and national communities and demonstrating good corporate citizenship.

For 2007/8, we are delighted to have a partnership with Tomorrow’s People as a corporate sponsored charity to help support their aim of helping disadvantaged people find and keep a job.

To find out more about this worthwhile charity, please visit www.tomorrows-people.org.uk

To effectively support Tomorrow’s People, we are looking to raise money through national and local fundraising and will end our year of support with The Select Way Round.

To act as the finale for Select’s year of giving, on 1st July 2008 Rod Jackson (Chief Operating Officer), David Buist (Franchise Development Manager) and Lee Davies (Head of Select Group OnSite) are going to embark on an arduous journey. Riding off into Europe, they are aiming to cover approximately 10,000 miles in 14 days on motorbikes that weigh close to a third of a ton - this is no easy ride!!

You can keep track of their progress on www.theselectwayround.co.uk where Rod and David will add their own personal blogs.
