Do you know the impact of volunteering on the beneficiaries? 🤔 See how Phoenix Group's volunteering made a difference to Argyle Primary School - Camden 👇 We've witnessed firsthand the incredible impact that company volunteers can have on communities. Here are just a few reasons why company volunteers are a driving force for positive change: 1️⃣ Skills and expertise: volunteers often bring a diverse range of skills and expertise to the table. By leveraging these skills, beneficiaries can help make a difference to their community 2️⃣ Doing more: volunteers allows organisations to do more and take on new projects and initiatives that may have been out of reach otherwise 3️⃣ Empowerment and support: beyond the tangible contributions, volunteers provide charities with a sense of empowerment and support. Knowing that there are dedicated individuals willing to donate their time and energy can boost morale and inspire greater enthusiasm among staff and stakeholders 4️⃣ Long-term impact: The benefits of company volunteers extend far beyond individual projects or events. By fostering ongoing relationships with charities, companies can create lasting partnerships that drive sustainable change and make a meaningful difference in the communities they serve. As we celebrate the impact of volunteering during Global Volunteer Month, let's recognise and celebrate the role that volunteers play in supporting charities and nonprofit organisations.

The best way to express gratitude is by giving back. 💛 Volunteering is more than an act of kindness; it’s a way to say thank you to the world around us. But the numbers remind us there’s so much more we can do. With just 68,466 volunteers in India during National Volunteering Week, imagine the impact we could create if even more of us stepped up. Every small action counts: ✨ Inspire others by incentivizing volunteering in schools and workplaces. 🌱 Nurture change by supporting local community initiatives. 📣 Spread awareness by amplifying the power of volunteers through media. Let’s show our gratitude by creating a culture of giving back—where volunteering becomes a part of who we are, not just what we do. Together, we can make volunteering the norm, not the exception. Are you ready to make a difference? 🌟 #UnearthingDEIDialogues #GratitudeInAction #VolunteeringMatters #GiveBack #CommunityImpact #SStraightCircles #DEIInitiative SStraight Circles SStraight Circles Foundation

Volunteering makes the world a nicer place... It's volunteering week and as ever, the team are helping to find local people opportunities both within our projects and locally with trusted organisations. - Volunteering is a great stepping stone into or back into employment. Work experience, upskilling and building back after a break. - Volunteering is good for health & wellbeing. Physically & mentally a great way to stay in shape. A good way to meet and interact with others. Grow from the sense of giving. Restore your faith in others. - Volunteering helps support the systems that support vunerable people. Charities need volunteers to do the work that they do to underpin public services. Not everything can be a paid job or service...sometimes we just need to help others, because it is the right thing to do. We also hope that in our times of need, there will be volunteers to support us too. If you already volunteer or are an organisation / group that facilitates volunteering - well done and thank you! #charity #Solihull #volunteersweek #community #health

I did my first volunteering role around Christmas. I am not alone in thinking about volunteering around the festive period 🎄🎅🏻 We notice a decent increase in applicants around this time, as you can see from the below chart. As a charity or any organisation managing volunteers, it is worth redoubling your efforts around this time. Make sure you are as visible as ever because people are looking. Ask volunteers to tell their friends. Perhaps offer low effort entry points to volunteer on a more one off basis. Make is as easy as possible to come and help out. For many, they may dip their toe into volunteering around this time and catch the bug. At Volunteero we offer a recruitment element as part of our service. Our clients can post to our exclusive volunteering marketplace. This is on top of our market leading volunteer management platform. Our app is #1 on the App and Play Store... This is the way we believe people will find volunteering in future. If you'd like help with recruitment or volunteer management.

Volunteering. A Significant Oversight in Political Manifestos Volunteers play a crucial role in driving community initiatives, supporting public services, and fostering social cohesion. Despite their immense contribution, their efforts often go unrecognised in political discourse Saskia Konynenburg, Director of Strategic Communications and Insight, covers 'What the general election manifestos mean for the voluntary sector' on NVCO The National Council for Voluntary Organisations's website (link in comments) and reports " A glaring omission from each and every manifesto... volunteering" She adds, "We are disappointed that no party took this opportunity to set out their vision for volunteering or recognise the importance of volunteers across the country." ❓Why do you think political parties overlook the role of volunteers in their manifestos? ❓How can we better advocate for the recognition of volunteer work at a policy level? ❓Do you have any personal experiences or examples where volunteering has made a substantial impact? 💚Help shape a future where volunteering is acknowledged and valued 👇Join the discussion 👇Join Charterpath #Charterpath #volunteering #nonprofits #charities #finance #accounting #generalelection #manifesto Alice (Stein) Clementi Alex Marsh Khurrum Beg Eleanor Norton Jordan Hart Sara Wrinch (nee Donaldson)

Volunteers’ Week 2024 is a time to celebrate and inspire. Over the years Englobe UK are proud of our previous efforts within the charitable sector adding to our overall year on year Social Value initiatives. We believe volunteering is a net positive for society and companies - a win-win on both sides of the table. The benefits of volunteering go far beyond the feel-good factor that it gives you. It’s an activity that can transform who you are at the core of your being, benefiting the communities in which we live, work and play. We look forward to supporting and encouraging our employees to use their extra day’s annual leave per year to volunteer their time. #VolunteersWeek #SocialValue #EnglobeUK #Englobe #ExcellentPeople #GreatPlaceTowork #ProudOfOurWork #Remediaion #RemediationContractor #SoilTreatmentFacilities #BrownfieldContracting #EnablingWorks #IntegratedEnvironmentalServices #InfrastructureProjects #CivilEngineering #HealthandSafety

Volunteers make the world go round—at least in the charity sector. Without their vital work, charities must deploy resources in ways that can reduce their impact and even threaten the sustainability of their operations. With a well-managed team of volunteers, organisations can enhance their impact while benefitting the local community. Volunteering is also amazing for the people who do it. Helping good causes promotes positive feelings of confidence and connection, fosters community spirit, and can reduce loneliness and stress. Volunteers can develop new skills in the process, both related to what they are doing and general life skills like communication and experience. So, we wanted to make volunteering easier for organisations and their volunteers. Gifted Volunteering Gifted Volunteering allows organisations to seamlessly manage their volunteers digitally, from application to availability, individual sessions, and turnover.

Do your employees organise their own volunteering? - you should read this: 💥Some of the biggest blockers for would-be volunteers are: 👉🏼 Overwhelm - so many charities, where to start? 👉🏼 Hassle of organising - it can take 2-3 months to hear back from a charity once you’ve reached out. 👉🏼 Expected time commitment - do I really have to take a FULL day out? So disruptive… 👉🏼 No easy, structured way to access impactful opportunities 🤔 Think about it: You wouldn't just tell your team "Hey, we offer therapy!" and leave them to find their own therapist, right? 💚 Volunteering should work the same way – using a volunteering platform makes it easy for your team to find amazing ways to give back! Just like mental health platforms, change-makers across the UK are turning to dedicated volunteering platforms to boost engagement and track the impact their team are creating 🌎 You can read more eye-opening stats on corporate volunteering here: https://lnkd.in/evxdKaKD ++++++++++++++++++++ 💥 Myth-busting Mondays are here! 🫶🏼 Follow Matchable Volunteering for more tips on volunteering, purpose and impact, one Monday at a time! #volunteering #employeevolunteering #charity #givingback #BCorp #techforgood #socialimpact
