FROM WASTED HOURS TO COMPETITIVE BUSINESS IMPACT

Each year, an estimated 140 million volunteering hours go unused in the UK - lost potential for employees, businesses, and communities alike. The challenge isn’t willingness. It’s access and alignment. Volunteering opportunities aren’t always easy to find or fit around modern working patterns.

The Impact Stack makes it easier. By connecting employees to the right opportunities and helping businesses align volunteering with their goals, we unlock the full potential of giving time for good.

Introducing the Impact stack 

The Impact Stack is a flexible suite of consultancy, digital tools, and services that integrate volunteering into your business — whether you’re building from scratch or scaling impact across your workforce.

Leaders in volunteering for over 85 years

Royal Voluntary Service is one of Britain’s largest volunteering organisations. For over 85 years, we’ve harnessed the power of volunteering at scale, inspiring millions to deliver vital support across communities and the NHS.

That experience now helps organisations like yours embed volunteering into their strategy and deliver measurable results. During the pandemic, we created NHS and Care Volunteer Responders for NHS England – the largest digital volunteering
initiative of its kind - mobilising over 600,000 volunteers through an app, proving how we deliver impact quickly and at scale.
