S4S SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

At Services 4 Schools we are committed to operating a socially responsible business, both in how we work with schools as our customers, but also in terms of how we contribute to the wider communities they serve. All our staff are driven to ensure that the services we deliver have a lasting impact on improving outcomes for learners of all ages.

Supporting school communities

We think it is important for our employees to contribute however possible in building and maintaining school communities. Many of our staff sit on the Governing Boards in their local schools, offering their time in a voluntary capacity. Governing Boards gain benefit from the knowledge and experience of our education specialists, whilst in turn, our staff develop a key awareness and understanding of the challenges of decision making from within school.

Providing skills and opportunities

To support our commitment to local communities we have provided a number of work experience and work placement opportunities to young people from schools across the region. We now have a strong relationship with several schools and colleges who have sent pupils to experience how we operate our support services. Their experiences range from producing high level analysis of school performance to assisting in a marketing campaign and designing online content for our website.

Sport in the community

At S4S, we are passionate advocates for the power of sport to inspire, unite, and uplift communities. We believe that sport plays a vital role in personal development, particularly for young people, by building confidence, encouraging teamwork and opening doors to new life opportunities. Whether it is on the pitch, court, or field, the experiences gained through sport can be life changing.

In line with this belief, we are proud to support a wide range of local teams and clubs that provide young people with the chance to participate, compete, and grow:

• Queensbridge Netball Teams

• Thorncliffe U13s Football Team

• Sponsored Breaks

• Brewood Cricket Club

• Bridgenorth Netball Team

• Trysull Tigers

• Girls County Team

• Wightwick and Finchfield

• Bilston Town Under 14s

• West Midlands County Under 14s and Under 16s

Charitable activities

We are very proud to support the S4S Foundation which works with young people, to help them reach their full potential. The Foundation delivers exciting programs and projects which promote healthy physical and mental lifestyles, increased confidence, raised employment aspirations, resilience and generally make a positive difference to the lives of a significant number of children, young people, their families, and their wider communities.

With the health and wellbeing of our young people firmly at the forefront of our minds, S4S have made donations to mental health charities which support young people through difficult times, helping them to find strength and confidence.
