Aurion Learning go green for Give and Gain Day 2014

BELFAST, U.K. - May 15, 2014 - PRLog -- A group of twelve volunteers from Aurion Learning will donate 60 volunteer hours to take part in a series of environmental tasks in Castle Ward National Trust as part of Give and Gain Day.

Facilitated by Business in the Community, Give and Gain Day is a national day of employee volunteering where employees are given a chance to contribute something to the local community, as well as providing the opportunity for employees to get a taster of volunteering.

Aurion volunteers will be completing tasks that would have otherwise taken considerable time and resource.

Speaking about the event, Ciaran O’Hare, Director of Aurion Learning said,

“We see it as our responsibility to use the resources available to us to give back to the local community and environment. The day we will spend in Castle Ward reflects our commitment to encouraging volunteering amongst our staff.”

He added:

“It’s a great opportunity for us to work together as team, escape the office for the day and enjoy the great outdoors… and it’s a Friday!”
