WINNER: Vicky Phillips
Vicky has introduced activities across five projects including volunteering, EDI, wellbeing toolbox talks, careers days, work placements and STEM engagement. Highly collaborative, she has created new community partnerships of benefit to clients, subcontractors and colleagues, as well as taking on challenges and finding meaningful solutions e.g. Birmingham Crisis centre, where 24 volunteers redecorated areas of the refuge. She has a positive impact on people such as one colleague with special educational needs who she found a placement for. Vicky has also helped unemployed people visit the project, which in one instance led to a contractor employing a young female who was a "natural" on the excavator. All enables projects to meet (and sometimes exceed) social value targets.
