The challenge
Volunteering policies are common. Participation is not
Many organisations offer volunteering days, yet much of that time goes unused because finding, approving and evidencing activity takes effort.
Less administration
Opportunities, approvals and records in one place.
Higher participation
Simple booking that fits the working day.
Real community return
Time directed to local need.
Evidence you can use
Verified Activity ready for CSR reporting.
Programme design
A volunteering plan shaped around your organisation
We work with HR, CSR and sustainability leads to agree priorities, set a realistic calendar and match activity to the communities around your sites.
- 01Objectives aligned with CSR, ESG and people strategy
- 02A quarterly calendar that respects operational demand
- 03Community partners selected around local need
Three ways to contribute
Choose how your organisation creates value
Organisations can combine all three. Releasing employees creates the greatest CSR and Social Value. Select a route to explore it.
Greatest CSR and Social Value
Release employees
Employees give time to local community activity. Every verified hour creates direct community benefit and the strongest evidence for CSR and Social Value reporting.
- Direct, measurable community outcomes
- Engagement, wellbeing and skills for employees
- Verified Activity recorded hour by hour
In the community
Time that reaches people close to home
Employees support residents and local organisations through practical, non-regulated activity: a shopping trip, a friendly visit, a hand at a community event. Small acts, coordinated well, reduce isolation and strengthen neighbourhoods.
Every visit is arranged, confirmed and recorded by Care to Volunteer, so employees can focus on the person in front of them.
Getting started
Establish the programme with delivery support
Guided onboarding aligns programme objectives, employee information and approval policies with your organisation's existing processes.
Agree terms and programme goals
Connect employees by secure import or integration
Set approval rules for line managers and HR
Invite employees and launch
Engagement
Participation that grows across teams
Friendly department challenges and recognition encourage colleagues to join, while every employee earns XP at the same rate.
