Employee volunteering
On Friday 18th May over 10,000 employees from over 200 companies in the UK volunteered in communities that needed it most. It was inspirational, transformational and a day to be proud of. Internationally, over 9000 volunteers took part in various projects from 24 countries! A huge thank you to ALL who participated!

Employee volunteering boosts staff morale, develops skills, strengthens corporate reputation and injects valuable resources into local communities.
We want all companies to recognise the transformational power of volunteering and offer employees the opportunity to volunteer during work time.
