"We can’t thank the team enough for all the hard work they did. They really understood the importance of play and how essential playgrounds like ours are and how they have a massive impact on children’s lives. The children instantly noticed all the positive changes they made."

BIG Alliance works with Expedia Group throughout the year to support their Corporate Social Responsibility programme, however every September something truly special happens.

‘Month of Caring’ is Expedia Group’s global initiative which encourages staff to give their time and talents to communities where they live and work.

Since 2014, BIG Alliance is proud to have supported Expedia Group in London source impactful projects where colleagues can make a real difference. Working closely with our community partners, we are able to source a mixture of hands-on practical projects and skills-focused sessions. Highlights include:

  • opening the doors to the Expedia Group offices to inspire local primary school children about career options

  • socialising with older neighbours

  • providing hands on support to local adventure playgrounds

  • running an intensive social media workshop for local charities

  • transforming community spaces, such as community centres, parks and school playgrounds

"We've worked with Expedia for at least 4 years now and every year I'm so impressed by the genuine warmth, interest, empathy and enthusiasm the team show. As with every other year we've partnered up, the group got stuck in and created such a fun and electric atmosphere in the room.  They really worked hard to include people and the older neighbours left in such a good mood. The majority of the people we work with live alone, so an afternoon of great company makes such a huge difference and will mean more than you know ... we couldn't be more grateful."
