toob in the community: company directors support local community garden

toob’s senior management team got together for a day of volunteering at The Arch Community Garden in Woking as a part of toob’s ongoing commitment to the local community.

The garden is located next to The Arch Community Centre and is supported by local charity Catalyst Support, which uses the garden for mental health and wellbeing groups and offers a safe place for local people to get outdoors and learn gardening.

The day of volunteering, carried out as part of the broadband provider’s “toob in the community” staff volunteering scheme & Volunteers’ Week, included planting, weeding and general upkeep, alongside building planters out of recycled materials for the centre.

The Hampshire-based provider launched its “toob in the community” scheme earlier this year to provide employees the opportunity to make a difference with charities that matter most to them. toob has partnered with the OnHand app to provide a variety of opportunities and actions that can be completed across its locations, with employees given paid time off to complete volunteering activities.

Nick Parbutt, toob CEO and Founder said: “The toob management team and I had a wonderful day volunteering at the Arch Community Garden in Woking.

“toob is part of the local community and it’s important to us that we support initiatives and charities that really make a difference to the communities we serve. I’m really pleased we were able to help Catalyst Support with their community garden and we’re looking forward to supporting more local charities in the future.”

Mark Burton, Volunteer Development Manager at Catalyst Support said: “We are so grateful to the team at toob for partnering with us and volunteering at the Arch Community Garden. The garden is a vital resource for the residents of Woking and helps to support the outreach and services we provide to the local community.”
