Tell us about your business?

Founded in 1953, John Roberts Architects are an RIBA Registered Practice of Chartered Architects. We are based in Lincoln City, serving both the East Midlands region, and throughout the UK as well as having also worked on selected projects abroad.

We feel we are a personal and approachable company and our commitment to our clients and their projects very often leads to our clients returning to us for future, repeat work.

At JRA we believe in a set of core principles which drive our practice forward: Quality, Ethics and Sustainability.

Why did you choose to sign up to the charter?

Signing up to the charter shows other people and companies we work with, that Social Value is of great importance to us and we hope that joining the Charter will help us to continue our commitment to the community in which we live and to support our staff further. By publicising our involvement in the Charter, we hope to encourage other businesses to get involved.

Have you noticed any positive changes since undertaking a range of socially responsible activities?

Getting involved in socially responsible activities has grown our commitment to help improve our local community and helped us further support our staff. It has also improved our sense of teamwork and made it easier to work with like-minded companies who feel it is important to make a positive change in people’s lives.

Do you have any words for a business looking to sign up to the charter?

Committing to the Charter makes both your business and staff more aware of the importance of supporting the local community and people we work closely with. It makes for a happier and healthier workforce, community and working environment. It also supports and improves working relationships with other like-minded businesses.
