Help us help YOUR community

CMP engages with local communities to better understand their most pressing needs …

…. and we listen very carefully to the needs of our Members, all of which are local businesses operating in those same communities.

CMP therefore is in a unique position, able to broker meaningful volunteering opportunities which improve the well-being of individual employees whilst helping to transform the lives of thousands of beneficiaries in the community.
