Simple actions can go a long, long way. It is everyone’s job to help make the world a better place!
Becky Slack is the Founder and Managing Director of Slack Communications. Founded in 2013, Becky was motivated to start her company so that she could share inspiring stories of charities and social entreprises doing good in the world. Becky believes anyone can create a ripple effect of good, no matter how small. Small companies are often intimidated by the concept of charity due to not ‘being able to afford it’, but Becky explains why they too, can give back without sacrificing profits.
