Business and Community Engagement

Welcome to Hello Dorking’s hub for Business and Community Engagement. Whether you’re a local business owner, a resident, or even just a visitor to our unique town, your contribution matters. Here we champion the vital synergy between businesses and the community, acting as a facilitator, advocate, and partner in various initiatives.

What We Do

We offer a suite of services aimed at bolstering local businesses. From negotiating preferential rates for essential services to providing invaluable footfall data, our services are meticulously designed to meet the unique needs of Dorking’s business community.

We believe in the power of local. That’s why we’ve negotiated special rates with Environmental Support Services, a Dorking-based contractor, exclusively for our BID levy payers.

Whether it’s partnering with schools to prepare students for the working world or running workshops that equip businesses with the tools they need, Hello Dorking is committed to enriching the fabric of our community.

Fostering collaborations among businesses, non-profits, and local government is a cornerstone of our engagement strategy. While we may be diverse in our professions and viewpoints, we are united in our goal to make Dorking a flourishing hub for all.

How to Get Involved

For Businesses: If you’re a business in Dorking, become a BID levy payer and unlock an array of benefits designed to support your success.
For Residents and Visitors: Participate in our community events, volunteer, or simply engage with our local businesses to make your mark.

Measure Your Impact

We’re all about data-driven decisions. That’s why we provide resources and tools to help you measure the social and economic impact of your engagement efforts, from customer satisfaction to local footfall.

Hello Dorking is a catalyst for sustainable growth and meaningful relationships. By fostering a cooperative ecosystem, we don’t just exist in the community—we are the community.
