Volunteer Friendly Award
The Volunteer Friendly Award is a recognition given to organisations that demonstrate good practice in managing and supporting volunteers. It highlights organisations that create positive and rewarding volunteer experiences, ensuring proper induction, training, and support for their volunteers. This award encourages organisations to continually improve their volunteer programmes and showcases their commitment to volunteer management excellence.
Corporate Volunteering
Corporate volunteering allows employees to participate in volunteer activities during paid work hours to support charities and community organisations.
For employees, this offers a chance to acquire new skills, engage with their local community, have fun, and build new connections. Employers benefit by boosting employee motivation, fostering teamwork, and achieving meaningful objectives that positively impact local communities.
Many employees find such volunteer experiences so rewarding that they choose to continue their involvement beyond work hours. At VSGWL, we facilitate this process by connecting businesses with local charities and community groups for impactful volunteering days. Contact us to learn more about how corporate volunteering can make a difference.
