Jess Anderson has worked as head of HR at Pipes & More since 2015. She suggested they join the Local Champion directory to help her employer get the recognition they deserve and further increase their social impact!
What made you want to become a Give Today Local Champion?
Well we had been trying to influence our supporters to help the local community by doing our bit, we would often share the work our team were doing on our social media in the hope it may inspire others.
When you say you wanted to inspire others, what is your hope by doing the good work you do?
We used to say in the salon, if we just inspire one person to go out and do something good, we have done something great today, then Give Today got in touch and the rest is history.
What has been the result of having a Give Today page?
Well I feel that is a two part answer, on the one hand we have seen a total of 283 clicks to support a local charity via our page. To put that into context, our page has helped a total of 1200 people. Which is absolutely amazing! That is so great for us to know that our supporters want to help the local community as much as us. The second part has to be said is our interaction with our customers, for example, we gave discount to every single one of those 283 people who donated to a charity and it created a great customer / business relationship.
You mentioned about the discount you offer to people who donate via Give Today, can you elaborate on that?
Yeah that’s right we offer everyone who donates via our page a free hair treatment. We are so happy to be able to encourage others to give today and we agree they should get something as a thank you.
