For Employers
Employee volunteering that is easy to run, simple for employees to use, and produces council-verified CSR value.
Employee volunteering, made easy to run
Built for CSR, HR and social value leaders
Care to Volunteer gives your organisation a complete employee volunteering programme: easy for employees to use, almost no administration for your team, and verified social value you can take to your board and into public sector tenders.
No referrals, no handovers, no gaps
One provider, end to end
We do not pass employees on to third-party charities and leave HR to chase the paperwork. Care to Volunteer runs the whole programme as a managed service, delivered through technology from our partner, Buddii: from the first employee invitation to the verified report.

Automation and AI where it saves time
Less administration for HR, more time in the community
- Smart matching
- Requests are suggested to employees by location, availability and preference, so diaries fill without manual coordination.
- Automated approvals
- Release requests route to the right line manager and HR contact, with reminders and escalation built in.
- Compliance tracking
- DBS and training status update automatically, and booking stays locked until both are complete.
- Report drafting
- AI-assisted summaries turn verified activity into clear narrative for board papers, ESG disclosures and tender responses.
- Engagement prompts
- Timely nudges and department leaderboards keep participation steady across the year.
- Data you can trust
- Every figure traces back to a verified activity record, never a self-declared estimate.
Private sector and corporate employers
ESG, engagement and retention in one programme
Give every employee a straightforward way to use their volunteering allowance close to home or the office. Department leaderboards and recognition sustain participation, line managers stay in control of release time, and your ESG and CSR teams receive verified evidence rather than spreadsheets of self-reported hours.
Public sector suppliers and contractors
Social value evidence that holds up in procurement
Public bodies assess social value commitments when awarding contracts and expect suppliers to measure and report delivery. Council-verified activity gives bid teams credible evidence for tender responses and contract management, mapped to the measures your buyers already use.
Civic engagement with verified outcomes
Universities and colleges
Staff and students can support older residents in the surrounding community with digital help, companionship and practical tasks. Institutions gain a verified record of civic contribution, and participants gain transferable experience in communication and responsibility.
Employment and workforce programmes
Structured experience that builds confidence
Employability providers and workforce schemes can offer participants supervised, meaningful activity with clear records of attendance, training completed and contribution made, all within the same safeguarded framework.

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.
