For more than 80 years, P&G brands and people have touched and improved consumers’ lives. Our commitment extends to our social investments. Our people and our brands are our greatest assets and together, they are a tremendous force that can make an impact that matters.

Through P&G’s Live, Learn and Thrive cause, we help children in need around the world get off to a healthy start, receive access to education and build skills for life. In the UK and Ireland our community relations programme - P&G Community Matters - helps deliver Live, Learn and Thrive as we recognise we can make a greater, more enduring impact by focusing on a consistent cause.

We deliver our Community Matters programme by: contributing funding, donating P&G product and through a comprehensive employee volunteer programme. We strongly believe in the value of community involvement and by nature, P&G employees tend to get involved in things they believe in. Nowhere is this more evident than in the contribution we make to our local communities.

• P&G UK and Ireland total charitable return for fiscal year 2010/2011 was valued at £4,725,958 (as measured by London Benchmarking).

P&G aims to support projects that will provide sustainable benefits to the communities in which we live and work, so the programme is delivered from each of our sites across the UK & Ireland and serves that local community only.

If you would like to find out more about how we’re supporting our communities in the UK & Ireland, please contact one of our regional coordinators or P&G UK and Ireland Community Matters Manager, Janette Butler - email: butler.js@pg.com

P&G Teaching Today For Brighter Tomorrows

P&G UK hold Platinum partnership status with Teach First and we are exclusive partners of their work in primary schools. This partnership brings to life our joint mission ‘to improve lives for children in need’. Teach First is an independent charity helping to address educational disadvantage by encouraging top graduates to spend the first two years of their working life teaching in challenging inner city schools. After their first two years of teaching experience, these young teachers can then choose to remain in teaching or take the experiences, insights and leadership skills they’ve gained into other sectors.

P&G UK also fund and support a special Teach First project called ‘P&G Teaching Today for Brighter Tomorrows’, which addresses the huge need to secure quality, primary head teachers. Our project addressed the barriers identified and prepares Teach First graduates towards primary head teach roles.

In addition, P&G employees volunteer on a variety of projects, ranging from coaching new teachers, assisting with communications strategy and advice on re-branding the charity, to providing judges for Excellence Awards for teachers and working hands-on with the students in marketing workshops.

The dedicated workforce of Teach First is achieving spectacular results and together, we are making a difference by helping children in the UK to Live, Learn and Thrive.
