skills based volunteering for company employees
Our Corporate Volunteering Programme aims to make the lives of HR Directors easier by providing an off the shelf package promoting skills-based volunteering. And we can adapt this for different sized organisations or those wanting to engage in different ways.
Most companies offer volunteering days to their employees, but few arm them with the skills needed to maximise these.
At Sported, we understand how beneficial (and hard to access) professional skills can be to our groups, but how little regarded they can be by those who have them. We want to give employees the confidence to really make a difference to their communities through a corporate package which enables companies to:
Benefits of joining the programme
Your employees benefit from our ‘Step-up to Volunteering’ upskilling & development programme
We provide face-to-face and online training sessions, including access to resources, webinars and newsletters
We generate a programme of marketing activity to enable you to recognise employees’ achievements and provide content for your own communication channels, and we will include you in Sported’s marketing/ PR/ Website
Your employees will gain entry into Sported’s annual volunteer event.
As a direct result of the support of our skilled volunteer mentors, our groups have collectively gone on to secure millions of pounds of external funding. They have created life-enhancing opportunities for thousands of young people from some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities
“Seeing the impact we made as a group was very rewarding. Being able to work and meet different people from the company was a big part of this as well.”
“It was great to see the physical difference we made to the space but was also amazing to see just how much it meant to the team at The Pirate Castle.”
“I found it very rewarding to get my hands dirty and physically contribute to the betterment of something. It’s accentuated by knowing that it helps others who really need support and especially when it’s regarding the younger generations.”
“I have had the most brilliant and day. It was great to hear about the Pirate Castle and all that they do, and great to meet all the fantastic people involved. I have come away feeling proud that I have been involved with the charity and the Knight Frank pilot day.”
