Novus launched its Changing Lives scheme at its Excellence Awards Dinner in December

Novus’ Changing Lives scheme was designed to encourage the company’s staff to make a difference to the communities they work in.

The company aims to have a positive impact on people’s lives providing them with work placements and employment opportunities.

It also believes that making contributions to various charities and supporting educational events, such as careers fairs, will help many people across the UK.

The staff of Novus’ 30 UK offices have already shown their support by donating an industrial toaster to a school breakfast club and refurbishing a community centre.

They have also landscaped a garden at a sheltered housing scheme.

As well as taking part in the scheme, the staff have been encouraged to put their own ideas for projects that could help their communities forward.

The company hopes to have changed 10,000 lives by the end of 2015.
