Corporate Responsibility Statement
Barker Associates believe that we need to develop comprehensive socially responsible and sustainable practices and initiatives.
We are a professional Company providing advice for all types of clientele, both large and small.
To enable us to fulfil our Corporate Social Responsibilities, we have joined an organisation known as “Business in the Community” (BITC). BITC bring together charities and other organisations in need of professional advice and assistance with Companies offering such advice on a “pro bono” basis.
One of our clients through the scheme is the Pioneer Sailing Trust. The Trust operates an Essex fishing boat constructed in 1864 at Rowhedge, near Colchester. She was rescued in 1998 following which she is now used as a sail training vessel to assist with learning and developing team and leadership skills for young people. The Pioneer Sailing Trust had acquired land at Brightlingsea and wished to develop this land to provide a permanent home and required assistance with the varied and extensive approvals required to carry out such a project. We were keen to become involved, as this was a natural extension to one of the Partners own pastime of sailing and his involvement with young persons through other charities such as the Scouting movement.
