I&#8217;ve come across a very simple way you can fulfil your CSR ambitions in only 10 days.\u00a0 And here it is&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><strong>My 10 Days<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Anita Brightley-Hodges has over 20 years&#8217; experience in marketing and branding and is the &#8220;creative genius&#8221; behind the firm she founded, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brightleyhodges.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brightley-Hodges Associates<\/a> (BHA).<\/p>\n<p>She also believes in family businesses as evinced by her foundation of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familybusinessplace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Family Business Place<\/a>, a consultancy specifically to support family businesses.\u00a0 It&#8217;s no surprise therefore that her daughter, Amelia, works at BHA as well!<\/p>\n<p>One day, I like to imagine, Anita was sitting by a window in her office with the sun streaming through whilst sipping the beverage of her choice.\u00a0 If only there was an easy way, she thought, that businesses could give to good causes without all the rigmarole of organising fundraising events or CSR programmes.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, how about it if the business itself stood to one side and allowed its employees to drive this part of the enterprise? What about giving them time off work to do their thing?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s not a new idea, but once Anita had it (and I emphasise this is just my own little fugue going on here, not reality!) she rolled up her sleeves and created <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mytendays.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">My 10 Days<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, My 10 Days is about an SME giving one employee 10 days&#8217; paid leave to do voluntary work or fundraising.\u00a0 The employee gets to do something which is dear to their heart and the business gets to kickstart its CSR programme.<\/p>\n<p>But My 10 Days isn&#8217;t just the idea.\u00a0 Its all that lovely information about how to get the ball rolling with &#8220;how to&#8221; and toolkits for employees and bosses alike.<\/p>\n<p>Inspired I did a few back of the envelope calculations.\u00a0 Giving a person 2 weeks off will &#8220;cost&#8221; a business in terms of wages around \u00a31,500.\u00a0 This is absolute peanuts when you consider some of the stories on My 10 Days: raising \u00a38,000 for Haiti earthquake victims; hands on support for leprosy victims in India; cycling through monsoon rains in Viet Nam &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>My 10 Days is by no means the only way an SME can engage with CSR.\u00a0 Moon Beever has raised over \u00a310,000 in the past year for Debbie&#8217;s Fund, which in turn has funded cancer research at University College London.\u00a0 No amount of time off could have made that possible, and \u00a310,000 is probably significantly more than 1\/26th of the firm&#8217;s average wage.<\/p>\n<p>However if your business wants to take its first steps towards becoming a more responsible corporation or allow its employees to do their bit, My 10 Days is perhaps one of the simplest and easiest routes to do it.<\/p>\n<p>And yes Anita and Amelia Brightley-Hodges have done it as well, raising over \u00a36,000 for Great Ormond Street by trekking along the Great Wall of China.\u00a0 You can read all about their experiences <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mytendays.org\/great-wall-of-china-_16\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently British Gas (BG) were round at my house.\u00a0 We had a problem with the boiler and .. well, after three visits they still didn&#8217;t fix it.
