idverde’s service development team is working to build relationships with local voluntary organisations and businesses in order to facilitate opportunities for volunteering and increase local involvement in Charnwood’s parks and open spaces. The team will also hold regular consultations with users throughout the contract period to better understand stakeholders aspirations for Charnwood’s green spaces and develop the service accordingly.
In order to aid local sustainability we have pledged to recruit and train a minimum of two apprentices per year. Opportunities for local unemployed people to undertake mentored work placements will be available over the course of the contract with the support of social enterprise organisations such as Groundwork, with whom we have an established relationship.
