ESG stands for Environment, Social and Governance. It essentially extends the traditional sustainability issues of just environmental impact, to also include good governance practices and social factors. Here at In Kind Direct, we believe that improving lives shouldn’t cost the earth.
Bee Wirral CIC is one of our invaluable network partners who recently hosted a visit for In Kind Direct and Unilever. They offer a variety of services, such as classes for parent and baby groups, and wood workshop sessions that support the mental health and wellbeing of local men. Products they access from us are crucial for the running of Bee Wirral CIC, enabling them to support more people with essential products and keep their facilities clean.
We are in close contact with the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) to offer support, and right now financial donations to aid agencies are the most important way we can all respond and support efforts on the ground in Turkey and Syria.

We’re working with Amazon, digital education charity, the Learning Foundation and education charity Teach First on a new scheme, Tech4Schools, to provide low-income schools serving disadvantaged communities with new devices, digital skills training and tech support.
We’re working with a host of strategic charity and corporate partners to help organisations in our network tackle digital poverty and increase digital access in their communities. In the last impact survey with our charitable network, over a fifth reported that technology, laptops, tablets and accessories were one of the most needed categories of product.
We understand that funding to run your vital support services remains a big concern for many, and we want to support wherever we can.
