Your recognition journey
Give time. Build experience. Unlock possibilities
From your first activity to your next milestone, meaningful participation is the starting point.
01 / 07
Start with something meaningful
Contribute time and skills to a community activity that matters to you.
Experience, not status
Every verified hour moves you forward
XP records participation and progression. The same ordinary volunteering activity earns the same base XP, whether you are a frontline employee or a senior manager.
Illustrative example
4 hoursVerified volunteering×100 XPPer verified hour400 XP
Example XP structure, configurable by Care to Volunteer. Skilled activity could earn 125 XP per verified hour.
XP is not money and is not Social Value.

Recognition grows through verified contribution, not job title or salary.
Progress stays. Benefits can be used.
Two balances. Different purposes.
XP is your lifetime progress. Reward Points are a redeemable balance. Using points for an eligible benefit does not reduce the XP you have already earned.

Badges reflect verified achievement, not self-reported activity.

98% reliability
Completion as agreed, attendance, partner confirmation and appropriate cancellations are considered separately from XP. Genuine cancellations should be treated fairly, without removing earned XP.
Progress together
Illustrative example
London Community Challenge

74% complete · Finance, Operations, Technology, Retail and HR
Shared milestones bring employees together. Optional challenges and volunteer champion recognition can celebrate leading contributions, with special discounts or benefits where offered.
Participation comes first. Recognition should encourage contribution, not pressure employees to compete.

Future capability
A longer-term volunteer passport
Care to Volunteer is designed so verified history, training, skills and recognition can form part of a long-term employee volunteering profile, subject to permissions and data protection.
Portability between employers is a future capability, not a guaranteed current feature.
- Verified contribution
- Skills and training
- Badges and recognition
One activity. Three distinct measures.
Recognition is personal. Impact has its own evidence.
XP

Reward Points
Redeemable benefits
Social Value
Community impact & employer reporting
XP and Reward Points are not inputs to Social Value calculations. Employer reporting keeps Verified Activity, Measured Impact and Indicative Social Value distinct.
Recognition employers can support
Organisations can follow participation, team challenges, milestone progress and recognition activity without making competition the purpose of volunteering.

Small moments, real connection
You do not need a remarkable skill to make someone’s day
Listening over a cup of tea. Helping someone feel more confident online. Preparing a meal alongside new people. The ordinary things you can offer may be exactly what someone needs.
Choose something that feels right for you. Care to Volunteer organises the practical arrangements and preparation, leaving space for the human part: being there, taking part and getting to know your community.
