We know that a home isn’t just the bricks and mortar, or even the property itself, it is often the wider area that creates a sense of belonging. We work with local schools and charities to help communities to thrive and create attractive places for residents to live. Ultimately, the better the schools, the longer the families want to stay and feel embedded in their local community
Having a sense of community is really important, feeling like you belong and you are a part of a community makes people feel safe.
We feel we have a responsibility to do what we can, to offer a platform to give residents the opportunity to mix with others. Our annual on-site events have included wood-fired pizza oven nights, a branded ice cream van dash throughout summer, Easter Egg hunts and visits from Santa, his elves and reindeer at Christmas.
We have also implemented Book Boxes on many of our developments, allowing residents to share books for free. Each development book box is looked after by a voluntary resident book guardian!
Every year Sigma supports local schools, sports clubs and charities to help the areas to flourish.
Sigma continually supports education and development in young people to give them new opportunities and the best chances through life:
As a company we support staff by funding new qualifications from RICS Chartered Surveyor Qualifications, to Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators and CIM (marketing) Diplomas. We further like to support all staff in their own charitable undertakings from sponsored marathons, climbs and walks!
We continually look to build good relationships between all Sigma offices and employees, by having bi-annual all-company social events and activities. We also have an annual Sigma staff magazine which reveals winners of our annual staff recognition awards.
We also look out for our staff with perks such as Well Boxes full of healthy snacks and treats through lockdown in 2020. We continually look at new initiatives to keep our staff healthy and happy. Additionally, we have a designated member of staff who is mental health first aid trained in each office location.
Sigma recognises that it is a long-term stakeholder in the communities and neighbourhoods it creates, and takes this responsibility very seriously.
