Corporate volunteering

Our corporate volunteering programme enables staff at all levels to donate their time and skills during work hours to provide services to the community as part of an ongoing service. Our main focus for corporate volunteering is employability, social isolation, digital inclusion, families, legal advice and education.

Examples of support provided include: mentoring local pupils as part of an inter-schools debating project; one-to-one IT support in our PC Pals project; Job Club support, employment and interview seminars for residents looking for work; Christmas giving scheme where local employees and businesses buy presents for local residents.

The diversity of our projects and the fact we work with people of all ages means there is always an aspect of our work that will inspire your company and help you meet your corporate social responsibility objectives.

We very much appreciate our volunteers and their amazing contribution to our community.

However, in order to make the project sustainable we have a charging structure in place which varies from individually-paid team volunteering events to Annual Corporate Partnership Options.

If you are interested in finding out further information on how your company can get involved please call us on 020 7549 8179.
