What is Volunteering?

Volunteering is choosing to do something for the benefit others, or for your community or the environment without being paid to do so.

Volunteering helps to build safer and stronger communities. Volunteering has many wellbeing benefits and can help you to meet new people, learn new skills, use your valued experience and make a difference in the community where you live.

Employer Supported Volunteering (ESV)

ESV is about employers encouraging their employees to make a difference in the local community through voluntary action. Some employers include volunteering days as part of their employees’ contracts to enable them to participate in volunteering.

Volunteering activities may match the skills and interests of the employees. The Company may have a link to the aims of the charity or organisation being supported. Volunteering opportunities might involve practical group projects like building a footpath, planting trees or painting a community centre. It could be individual volunteering, such as joining a management committee, or offering pro-bono professional support to an organisation.

We can support your Company to connect with suitable volunteering activities and work with the voluntary and community sector to enable this type of volunteering to happen.
