Supporting The Global Goals
In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals which have the power to create a better world by 2030.
As a business, we are doing our part towards these global goals with the help of Support the Goals. With their guidance, we have selected 3 goals that we believe we can make a positive contribution towards over the next 3 years. In May 2022, we were very proud to receive 5 star status from Support the Goals for our work.
As part of our efforts, we now give a presentation to new suppliers of VIQU to educate them regarding the 17 Global Goals and why we believe they should support them. If you are interested in getting involved in supporting the goals, please click here.

Zero Hunger
With an estimated 2% of Birmingham's population currently homeless, we decided to make one of our 3 goals - Global Goal 2. Zero Hunger. We aim to support this goal by raising and donating at least £300 worth of non-perishable food items and hygiene products to food banks in central Birmingham annually. These items are then distributed across the city to homeless individuals and those in need of support.

Decent Work and Economic Growth
We are pleased to support Global Goal 8. Decent Work and Economic Growth, through our NHS IT Volunteer Initiative. During the height of the pandemic, we placed out-of-work IT professionals willing to volunteer their time, with NHS Trust IT departments who were in need of support at a time of crisis. Originally we hoped to place 50 volunteers, but by the end of 2020, we had placed over 260 volunteers, 45% of which secured paid contract or permanent roles due to their efforts.
