Care to Volunteer

Social Value

Council-verified CSR and social value from employee volunteering, evidenced in a way boards and commissioners can trust.

Social value you can verify

The standard boards and commissioners are asking for

Social value claims are increasingly scrutinised in public procurement and ESG reporting. Care to Volunteer gives you council-verified evidence of the community value employees create, so your figures can be traced back to real, confirmed activity.

Outputs are not outcomes

Why hours alone do not satisfy evaluators

Counting hours records what was done. Credible social value reporting also shows what changed for the people supported and applies recognised valuation principles, such as accounting for what would have happened anyway. Care to Volunteer records both the verified activity and the outcome it supported.

  1. 1

    Verified activity

    Hours, visits and tasks confirmed by the care provider and local authority.

  2. 2

    Recorded outcomes

    Companionship, practical help and independence at home, captured at the point of delivery.

  3. 3

    Transparent valuation

    Any monetary estimate shows its proxy and source, and is kept separate from verified figures.

  4. 4

    Wider CSR picture

    Apprenticeships, giving, environmental and local spend activity can sit alongside volunteering.

Rooted in everyday places

Community is closer than a national headline

It is the hall around the corner, a shared garden or the place where neighbours meet. Meaningful support begins by listening to what matters locally.

Employers, community organisations and local authorities each bring a different perspective. Care to Volunteer connects those priorities through practical programmes, with outcomes recorded in their local context.
