    Social Values

    At Bowker Sadler we recognise that our actions have a significant impact on the communities, environment, and society as a whole. We are committed to operating our practice in a socially responsible way to contribute positively to the well-being of people, the planet, and future generations. 

    “Bowker Sadler are long standing supporters of CAFT. The company have made a valuable contribution to our work over many years through donations, staff fundraising activities, corporate volunteer days, attending our events and introducing new contacts to our network.” CAFT

    Social Value is a broad topic. It moves beyond using money as the main indicator of value, instead putting the emphasis ‘good business’ where people, sustainability, wellbeing and diversity are at the heart of decision making.

    “Mike was brilliant! Thanks so much the kids got a lot out of the day. One teacher commented that she was amazed to see some of the students actually enjoying learning as they can find a classroom environment challenging. Thankyou again we really appreciate the time and effort you took to make this day a success.”
