'An Hour or So' is a Norfolk-based initiative where local businesses give an hour of their services in exchange for a charitable donation.
This scheme will benefit local businesses as follows:
The Giver:
- Many service businesses offer a one hour free consultation anyway, therefore this hour will now benefit from gaining a charitable donation. Plus this assists the CSR of the business.
- The giver will hopefully gain more clients from this scheme (however this cannot be guaranteed).
The Receiver:
- The receiver will be able to 'try before they buy' without a service costing it's full value, which they might not otherwise be able to afford.
- The receiver can try out the service to see if it works for them before they commit.
The Charities:
- The local charities benefit from a cash donation to help fund their valuable work within the local community.
