Now even more than ever, teams of volunteers can make a huge difference working together in new, dynamic and challenging environments.
 

Times are tough for everyone and the recession is hitting the community sector particularly hard. At the same time as making a direct impact in your local community you can engage your employees in an effective team building activity.

Research shows this raises morale; improves communication and makes staff feel more motivated at work.

The benefits

Employee Volunteering enables your company and employees to participate and make a difference in the life of local communities. You'll help employees grow and develop their potential, increase their motivation, and create positive PR for your business. Volunteers experience new opportunities and have a sense of pride in their work with the community, often finding themselves thinking differently about community issues as a direct result.

The community organisation benefits by receiving a helping hand with the completion of important projects. Furthermore they too develop their staff by engaging with corporate volunteers, in many cases forging longer-term partnerships.

How we deliver

We work with local charities, schools and community organisations. Teams could find themselves transforming gardens, redecorating rooms, helping to improve a wildlife habitat or taking a group of elderly people on a day trip.

We encourage volunteers to engage directly with the community members they are helping, to promote a long term and sustainable impact and understanding of the benefit of volunteering in the community.
