Giving Something Back

We have committed money and resources to the Rochdale Ambassadors scheme, a collaborative effort aimed at enhancing the reputation and economic prospects of Rochdale. The aim is to foster community pride, attract investment and businesses, and improve the quality of life for residents.

Building connections with local schools and colleges is a vital component of our commitment to empowering young people. Through our initiatives, we aim to provide them with the essential skills and experiences they'll need as they leave school or college.

Supporting Rochdale Circle, a group that helps local residents enjoy a flourishing, independent later life, we've hosted a birthday celebration and Christmas lunch at our head office in Rochdale. The events are always well-received, and our team of volunteers enjoy it too!

We dedicate an entire week to welcoming our friends and family into the Zen office, to experience life at Zen first-hand. It's a delightful blend of fun and meaningful discussions, emphasising the importance of wellbeing and a healthy work-life balance.

Every summer we welcome the children of our people to join us for a great opportunity to learn and explore STEM activities, from our Dash and Dot robots and Microbits for the younger kids, to learning to code and how technology is used to run our business for the older kids.

In 2015 Richard Tang set up the incubator scheme to help people at Zen to set up their own business and turn their ideas into reality. Richard provides financial and practical support, free office space, as well as expert guidance to help them succeed in the business world.
