One Firm One Day 2023

Transcript

Kevin Ellis: Today is One Firm One Day, where all our people get the chance to work with charities that are of relevance to them and their families, but also to us as a business.

Hermione Hudson: Events like One Firm One Day are fantastic for just bringing to life what we're doing with our purpose and our investment in community. There is nothing like actually meeting people, getting involved in the events, for bringing it to life.

David Adair: It's fantastic to see so many partners and staff sharing their skills with social enterprises, helping them solve a problem and see things through a different lens.

Maggie Robb: Today on OFOD, we've matched over 100 PwC volunteers with fifteen amazing social entrepreneurs to coach them through a business challenge they're currently facing.

Marco Amitrano: Today I'm in our More London Office and I'm joined by eight ambitious budding social entrepreneurs at different phases of the journey of development of their businesses. Now they're each going to be working with teams of PwC volunteers to bring some of their ideas to life and turn them into proper, executable plans. There's a lot of energy, there's a lot of excitement, and I'm really looking forward to spending this afternoon with all of those teams.

Isobelle Ford: Today I'm really hoping to get some new ideas and a fresh perspective on the social enterprise I run.

Kevin Ellis: This year, we've got 280 teams taking part, which is an all-time record, and I'm about to meet some young people as part of our New World New Skills initiative.

Lisa Hobbs: It's so important for them to see what opportunities there are in the workplace, and think about what they really want to do in the future.

Alessandra Azante: Today we've got our graduate employability event, so we've got RefuAid clients coming together with volunteers from PwC who are going to help our clients put themselves in the best position possible.

Ramin Nikooei: As a former student of RefuAid who is now PwC employed, it is great to get the chance to volunteer for One Firm One Day.

Phil Maxwell: We reckon there's about 900 hours of work being done. I reckon the same work that was done today would take me maybe 22 years to complete.

Ben Higgin: We've got a load of school kids in, hopefully inspiring people into jobs in technology.

Saye Mkangama: It's a really special day for me. It's a really humbling experience. When I get to see the change in people's aspirations across the course of today, and to really know this is going to have a long-lasting impact on them, as an individual.

Alessandra Azante: It's absolutely fantastic to have so many of our clients in the same room, and we really appreciate the support from PwC.

Alayssa Khatun: Stuff like this opens communication. It opens the door. It just works, you know, it's great outreach.
