Corporate Social Responsibility
at Sellick Partnership

Supporting our community

Our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) fundraising and initiatives stem naturally from our core values – and we are passionate about how our business can make a real, positive difference to the community and businesses around us.

Since our formation in 2002 we have worked with local and national charities, raising funds and supporting causes very close to our heart. As a business we are fully aware of the benefits that come with a well planned and executed CSR strategy, but we also want to show that we genuinely care about helping people – and we want our initiatives to demonstrate this.

We help people find their dream career every day, but also recognise that it is equally as important to help others and support the communities where we work. We feel a great sense of pride when our people come together and help us celebrate and support worthwhile causes throughout the UK.

To drive our CSR efforts forward, our team have devised several key strategic objectives to guide us toward our goals. These include:

  • Strengthen and build relationships with our corporate charity partners through fundraising and donation opportunities as well as other key CSR initiatives to support the local communities we work in. 
  • Increase volunteering opportunities by making them more accessible to everybody in the business and encouraging employees to get involved. This will have a positive social impact whilst also complementing our social value requirements for tenders and proposals. 
  • Review and develop our environmental initiatives, recognising that this is crucial to society and becoming increasingly important when bidding for new business. 
  • Support our local communities through improving workplace skills, and reducing unemployment through the delivery of employability workshops.

Additionally, each year we actively encourage our employees to get involved in our ‘paid time off for charitable commitments’ where each member of the business is given a day of annual leave to support a charity or cause of their choice.

Board Sponsor:
Laura Hayward

"I am incredibly proud to be the Board sponsor of the CSR Committee here at Sellick Partnership. The most rewarding aspect for me is engaging the business in fundraising and charitable initiatives to contribute and make a difference with local and national charities. A crucial element of corporate social responsibility is facilitating employees to engage in the local community; employees want to give back and have the opportunity to do so. Our initiatives are very accessible to allow our employees to contribute in a way that best suits them! Our Manchester office is partnering with Wood Street Mission this year; this has meant that together we have been able to plan our fundraising events for 2025 and really support their fantastic projects throughout".

We are committed to supporting our local communities through improving employability skills and reducing worklessness through the delivery of employability workshops. We work with our clients and partners to deliver these workshops to their service users or students across organisations including Universities, Colleges, Housing Associations and Professional membership bodies.

As a socially responsible recruitment partner, we are pleased to be able to support local businesses within our wider communities through the donation of our apprenticeship levy, offering the opportunity for small businesses and start-ups to fund their own apprenticeships.

At Sellick Partnership, we are committed to sustainability and responsible business practices. Over the past 12 months, we have dedicated significant effort to conducting a thorough review of our carbon footprint, in collaboration with our parent company, Samsic

We are committed to making a positive impact beyond recruitment through regular fundraising and charitable donations. Each year, our teams across the UK support a range of chosen charities through events, challenges, and initiatives – from bake sales and sponsored runs to office-wide campaigns. Our aim is to give back to the communities we serve, support causes that matter to our employees, and contribute to lasting change through meaningful, consistent support.

Corporate volunteering not only helps address community needs but also fosters a sense of teamwork and corporate social responsibility among employees. We recognise this, and as part of our wider CSR strategy, we actively encourage our employees to get involved in our ‘paid time off for charitable commitments’ where each member of the business is given a day of annual leave to support a charity or cause of their choice. 

Our CSR initiatives

At Sellick Partnership, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a key part of who we are and how we operate. We are committed to making a positive impact beyond recruitment, supporting a wide range of charitable, social, and environmental initiatives across our business.
