Annex A 59
Further opportunities for cross sector collaboration • There was a perception that local SMEs had much to offer in partnering with the third sector in Southwark to address more localised community issues in relation to the downturn. The 10% target for apprenticeships at Axis Europe was an inspiring example to others. • Initiating a common database capturing local demand and supply regarding volunteering opportunities and work placements was identified as a key area for future cross sector collaboration. • Ernst and Young – having identified a volume of potential corporate high skill volunteers in the More London offices – agreed to investigate how these high value employees could be brokered into relevant and value added third sector organisations.
