HRH The Prince of Wales Responsible Business Network has been launched to help UK businesses provide support to local needs during the Covid-19 pandemic.
750 UK businesses are currently in membership, with the national business response network being launched to identify community needs across the UK and matching them to the support that they need, including food, social care and technology to allow children to continue learning and older people to stay connected to families.
The scheme identifies community needs from community groups, schools, local authorities, local resilience bodies, charities and alliances such as the British Red Cross Voluntary and Community Sector Emergencies Partnership and small businesses, connecting business resources to meet specific needs: professional support, lending/donating of resources and logistics.
