One-hundred Deloitte staff recently stepped away from their desks to participate in Impact Day, the firm’s signature volunteer initiative.

Various groups did helpful things for eight local charities.

One of the projects was assisting with refurbishment of community space at Transitional Community Services in Pembroke.

A group also worked with Keep Bermuda Beautiful for a central clean-up, beginning with a tour of the Tynes Bay Waste Treatment Facility in Devonshire followed by an art session at the K Margaret Carter Centre, also in Devonshire.

Deloitte employees also helped the Bermuda National Trust to restore High Point Nature Reserve in Southampton, one of Bermuda’s last remaining untouched open spaces and the latest site acquired through Buy Back Bermuda.

Other charities helped, including the Bermuda Audubon Society, Kaleidoscope Arts Foundation, Lady Cubitt Compassionate Association, National Museum of Bermuda and Women’s Resource Centre.

Jimmy Caplice, partner and chair of Deloitte’s corporate social responsibility committee, said: “Impact Day reflects our commitment to strengthening the communities where we live and work.”

He was proud they had collaborated with eight local organisations.

“We trust that the time our professionals dedicated will help these non-profit continue delivering essential work to our local communities,” he said.
