Turn employee volunteering into a high-impact business asset
Embed volunteering into your strategy and unlock untapped organisational value with our expert consultancy and data-driven insights.
take your employee volunteering further
Each year 140 million employee volunteering hours go unused in the UK alone. Unlocking this could be transformational – helping charities and causes meet growing demand for support.
However, businesses don’t have the time or expertise to help employees find the right opportunities and traditionally volunteering has lacked flexibility.
Royal Voluntary Service helps businesses unlock these unused hours and expand employee volunteering with the Volunteering Marketplace.

Leaders in volunteering for over 85 years
Royal Voluntary Service is one of the largest volunteering organisations in Britain. For over 85 years we’ve demonstrated the power of civic participation, inspiring millions of citizens to deliver vital support and relief in communities and the NHS.
We’re the recognised leaders in using digital to convene volunteers at scale. During the pandemic, on behalf of NHS England, we set up NHS and Care Volunteer Responders, the largest digital volunteering initiative of its kind. Over 600,000 volunteers were mobilised through an app – many of them volunteering for the first time.
