Make Your Marketing Budget Go Further
When you advertise with Work Rest or Play, you’re doing more than promoting your business.
You’re helping local charities, community groups, CICs and non-profit organisations reach the people who need help the most.
Many community organisations use our Community Bronze package and Events Calendar free of charge. Your support helps us continue providing these opportunities while strengthening connections across the local community.
The result is a simple but powerful cycle:
- Businesses gain visibility.
- Community organisations gain affordable promotion.
- More people discover local support, events and volunteering opportunities.
- Communities become stronger and more connected.
- Businesses can demonstrate meaningful local impact and social value.
What Is the Social Value Partnership?
The Social Value Partnership is an optional enhancement available alongside our Business packages.
It is designed for organisations that want to:
- Demonstrate social value commitments
- Support local communities
- Showcase volunteering and community involvement
- Strengthen ESG and CSR initiatives
- Build stronger local relationships
- Support procurement and tender submissions
By partnering with Work Rest or Play, your organisation helps sustain free and affordable access for community organisations while creating opportunities to demonstrate positive local impact.
