Employee volunteering that’s impactful, trackable & effortless to run
Employee volunteering is fast becoming a high-value asset for organisations aiming to boost performance, engagement and social impact.
Yet despite most UK businesses offering programmes, 140 million volunteering hours went unused last year, largely due to a shortage of flexible opportunities and difficulties
accessing suitable activities.
It’s a missed opportunity. For people. For businesses. For communities.

Launching October 2025, the new digital platform is designed to help organisations unlock untapped volunteering potential, by reducing barriers to participation and connecting employees with the right opportunities.
With the employee volunteering becomes easier to organise and simpler to manage, all supported by powerful tools to track and evaluate outcomes.
