A little giving, a big difference - and a festive thank you
As we head towards the end of the year, the team at Minerva has been reflecting on what matters most to us. This season naturally brings a bit of pause and perspective, and it’s a good reminder that even small actions can have a meaningful impact. That’s why our involvement with the B1G1 (“Buy 1, Give 1”) initiative continues to be an important part of how we work.
Why we chose B1G1
Procurement isn’t just about cost savings tender processes, efficiencies and spreadsheets! At its best, it’s about improving outcomes for people, organisations and communities. As you’ll see on our B1G1 page, for each client that signs up with us for a new project, we make a small donation to a charity personally chosen by one of the Minerva team – a simple way to connect our day-to-day work with something positive happening elsewhere.
B1G1 enables that link clearly and consistently, which is why we value the partnership.
Why giving back matters
Three reasons stand out for us:
1. Purpose beyond profit
Yes, we’re a business – but we’re also people who care about how our work contributes to the wider world. One of the reasons we work solely in schools is because we recognise the good we can do in such an important sector. Supporting charitable projects alongside our commercial activity reflects the values we are committed to.

2. Building Connection
Each individual donation is modest, but together they add up. Sharing this journey with clients and business partners helps create a sense of collective contribution – something B1G1 captures well.
3. Keeping the Christmas spirit going
Generosity is often front-of-mind in December, but we prefer to keep that mindset active all year. Our B1G1 commitment helps us do exactly that.
What your work with us supports
Every time you choose to work with Minerva, a charitable project benefits – whether that’s clean water initiatives, education, healthcare or another area aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Our B1G1 page includes a live tracker so you can see exactly how these contributions build over time.
A festive thank you
To our clients, colleagues and partners: thank you. Your trust in us directly supports organisations making a real difference.
Want to know more?
If you’re already working with us, we appreciate it. If you’re planning a new project in the New Year, your decision will help us grow the impact further. And if you’re simply curious about how B1G1 fits into what we do, we’re always happy to talk.
Warm wishes for the season ahead
From all of us at Minerva, we wish you a restful festive season and a New Year filled with purpose and possibility. Here’s to continuing to do good work – and doing some good along the way.
