Measure
The Benchmarking tool allows for organisations to measure their social impact in 4 key areas: Education, Economy, Environment, and Community. Your responses will be presented in an easy-to-understand visual manner. It’s important to be honest, once your visual has been generated, you’ll then be able to compare your results against other companies.
Creating Connections
Creating connections is a great way for you to being working on your social impact. This function will allow you to promote your activities to the Chambers network of contacts. Not-for-profits, charities or individuals aiming to promote a good cause can request help from these businesses by emailing connection opportunities or requests to marketing@wnychamber.co.uk.

Awards and Reward
Annually, the Raising the Bar Awards is the highlight of the business calendar. This is our way of rewarding you for your hard work; making social impact happen. We want to see you making real change in your local area by: taking part in charity work, supporting and investing in the community, or partnering with other members working on similar projects.
Promotion
Share your stories with Chamber members and the wider business community with articles published on the members website, with potential inclusion in the Chamber quarterly magazine. Anything from successfully completed programs or updates on a project your working on, we want to promote and share your work.
