CI-Connect Give Back To Local Charities
CI-Connect are a video conferencing company based in Leigh-on-Sea who specialise in designing, installing and supporting video conferencing, audio-visual, and hosted solutions.
They work with many businesses and organisations in a range of sectors, locally, nationally and internationally, but also like to get involved in local charity work whenever possible.
They have recently been working with two very worthwhile charities in Southend:
Saint Vincent de Paul Society
SVP’s aim is to tackle poverty in all its forms through the provision of practical assistance to those in need. They provide meals and support for the homeless, rough sleepers and any vulnerable people within the community.
CI-Connect have carried out many projects for them including a CCTV system, video conferencing hosted services, HaaS (Hardware As A Service), consultancy and support. Mark Weston, Owner and MD of CI-Connect has also worked night shifts in the homeless shelter and now has a real understanding of what SVP provides to the community.
Daniel Cauchi, Centre Manager of SVP Westcliff, explains the importance of local support: “Working with local businesses, especially during Covid-19, has brought about great community spirit. SVP has been able to continue to support vulnerable people and rough sleepers by providing hot meals, clothing, temporary accommodation, and housing items. We have been able to continue to support hundreds of people in need throughout 2020 with the support of CI–Connect. The company has been so involved in the operation of our projects with technological support, donations of items and money, and their generosity of staff to support our late evening night shift at our night shelter. We would not have been able to support so many people without the support of local businesses like CI-Connect. They are so like-minded with the values of the SVP Society and community spirit. It is a great accomplishment where local charities and businesses unite to Turn Concern into Action.”

Packed With Smiles
Packed With Smiles delivers school uniform parcels and toiletries to children who are in crisis. Their dream is that all children go to school feeling equal, confident, and ready to create their own future.
They support families through times of financial hardship and difficulty, to ensure their children have everything they might need to fully participate in school.
They offer the parcels through local schools, partnering with the staff who are best placed to identify the greatest and most genuine needs in the community. They provide everything that a child might need from winter coats, full school uniforms, PE kits and shoes right through to socks, tights, water bottles and rucksacks.
CI-Connect are very proud to be a platinum sponsor of the charity and they donate as regularly as possible to help level the playing field and support self confidence in young people.
