Coatsink – case study
Coatsink Software Ltd is a UK game developer and publisher based in Gateshead.
To support their staff wellbeing, Coatsink offer sustainability focused volunteering days for their team with the aim of getting them out into nature and making a positive impact on the environment. In 2024, they asked us to take a team of staff members for a day by the Tyne carrying out invasive species removal.
Emma Blenkinsop, Admin Manager at Coatsink said, “Tyne Rivers Trust was recommended to me as an organisation providing interesting corporate volunteering opportunities and invasive species removal appealed as something new which ticked all our boxes. As a predominantly remote working studio we don’t get to meet up in person as often as we’d like and it’s very easy to spend too much time inside at our desks. These sorts of volunteering days get us outside and help us reconnect. Much like our previous volunteering days we had a really fun and rewarding day and the activity itself was both educational and satisfying. I would highly recommend the Tyne Rivers Trust for corporate volunteering opportunities and invasive species removal specifically as a fun and impactful activity.”
The feedback we received from their team was also extremely positive.
Fernanda:
“It was quite a relaxing and insightful experience! I enjoyed learning about the plants surrounding the river and helping removing the troublesome ones. It was also a nice moment to enjoy staying outside, appreciating the nature around us. Also, I saw a swan, 10/10.”
