SOCIAL

In the end, we would all rather be outside.

Coffey Architects is committed to promoting diversity and inclusivity in all aspects of our work, including our volunteering efforts. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to participate in outdoor activities and experience the benefits they provide, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Our social agenda reinforces the Coffey Design process, Environmental Strategy and resulting architecture by engaging with the great and small outdoors. Supporting local communities engaged in greening the city and air quality through to global organisations that care for the wider environment, its ecosystems and landscapes. We learn through our reciprocal relationships towards a healthier planet and healthier inhabitants.

We support and engage with: 

Social Enterprise UK

The Woodland Trust

London Wildlife Trust

The Conservation Volunteers

London National Park City

Spitalfields City Farm

Norfolk Wildlife Trust

The Nature Conservancy

Rainforest Alliance

World Wildlife Fund

Community involvement

We encourage community involvement, volunteering and participation in the design and planning process, to ensure that the green spaces and nature preserves are accessible and enjoyable for all members of the community.

Education and learning

We integrate outdoor activities offering employees training, resources, and volunteer opportunties to engage with diverse communities and cultures. We also partner with educational organisations to provide mentorship and skill-building opportunities for under represented youth via outdoor activities. This approach promotes community well-being but also personal development and well-being for our colleagues. 

Encouraging diversity

Coffey promotes diversity by supporting and engaging with diverse communities that promote outdoor activities, encouraging employee participation in volunteering, and fostering a more inclusive workplace culture.

External collaboration

Coffey expand our internal social policy by collaborating with other sectors to create a cohesive and sustainable approach to greening cities. This includes working with urban planners to design and implement green infrastructure, partnering with parks and recreation departments to create accessible and inclusive outdoor spaces, and engaging with environmental groups to promote sustainable practices and conservation efforts.
