- Provide a model enabling businesses to maximise their impact on the community, whilst drawing out the commercial benefits.

This entails:

Maximising our positive impact on the local community.

Linking our commitment to community activity with local business objectives.

Training and developing employees through local community involvement.

Ensuring an environmental and socially responsibility throughout business activities.

Gaining the highest marks in the country to date, Business in the Community has congratulated the Society on an excellent community programme with a real understanding of local issues.

'Many congratulations on this achievement and on your excellent submission and community programme which really is an example of excellence and inspiration for others to follow' she continued.

'The Hanley has supported community initiatives for many years and to receive recognition is very welcome news for our staff and customers' said Rob Hassall, Marketing & E-Commerce Manager at the Society.
