Great! Bodyshop's Anita Roddick blazed the trail long ago, and now these blue chip companies have chosen to work together to the benefit of all.

In Devon,staff from Reuters HQ did wonderful things to help a young carers project, and hugely enjoyed it. As ever, it's just a matter of getting started.
