Measure
The Benchmarking tool allows for organisations to measure their social impact in 4 key areas: Education, Economy, Environment, and Community. Your responses will be presented in an easy-to-understand visual manner. It’s important to be honest, once your visual has been generated, you’ll then be able to compare your results against other companies.
Creating Connections
Creating connections is a great way for you to being working on your social impact. This function will allow you to promote your activities to the Chambers network of contacts. Not-for-profits, charities or individuals aiming to promote a good cause can request help from these businesses by emailing connection opportunities or requests to marketing@wnychamber.co.uk.

Anything from successfully completed programs or updates on a project your working on, we want to promote and share your work.
