BUSINESS FOR BETTER
We understand businesses are in business to make a profit and we also know that businesses come under a lot of pressure to support those in need.
Business For Better has been created to provide for profit companies with the opportunity to work with an organisation to deliver engaging but also educational and uplifting programmes that enhance the lives of young people, their families and their communities.
WHAT WE AIM TO ACHIEVE WITH BUSINESS FOR BETTER?
We aim to engage regularly with young people and their families to support their development – focusing on six key areas of work; health and wellbeing, youth voice and youth leadership, earth and environment, learning and skills, creative arts, and communities, culture and heritage.
We believe these 6 key areas are essential for life – promoting a holistic development of the young person, their families and their communities.
We aim to continue engaging with local communities in partnership with local businesses and corporations that offer their support in donations and in kind.
Donations will support the sustainability and delivery of our services – specifically our ongoing engagement with young people and their families in their local area.
Support in kind will ensure we have enough volunteers and equipment to provide young people with resources to develop their skills through our project delivery.
Both avenues of support will facilitate the building of local communities – led by young people who have a say in what activities and opportunities are offered to them and their families.

OUR PARTNERS
PIA
BANG is working with PIA Financial Group to develop its Cornerstone programme that aims to provide young people who are experiencing homelessness with a home to develop skills for the future.
This partnership brings together BANG’s expertise in project development and PIA’s deep understanding and experience in real estate to provide a sustainable service to young people who want to grow and be independent.
PIA has invested in BANG through contributing to the renovation of the BANG office. BANG aims to develop programmes and equitable initiatives with PIA where young people have safe spaces to grow and contribute positively to their communities.
MARIO’S RESTAURANT

The newly renovated restaurant is revitalising the community spirit through hosting events that bring local people together.
These events act as the ground for building meaningful connections and partnerships between young people, their families, and the wider community.
BANG will be supporting Mario’s Restaurant to build a strategic and sustainable model of working which enables them to thrive.
