MAKE A DIFFERENCE, FEEL THE REWARDS
Enabling Employer Supported Volunteering for Teams
Turn your business’s goodwill into local impact.
Businesses across South Derbyshire want to make a positive difference in the communities where they operate. The challenge is often knowing where to start, who needs help, and how to make volunteering time genuinely useful.
That’s where our Employer Supported Volunteering service comes in.
Whether you’re a larger employer with formal CSR commitments and volunteering days, or a smaller business looking for a practical way to support your local community, we make it simple to turn your goodwill into meaningful action.
We connect your people with projects that need them.
We work with employers to understand what you want to achieve through volunteering, whether that’s:
-
Making a tangible contribution to your local community.
-
Supporting your CSR and ESG objectives.
-
Developing teamwork, leadership and communication skills.
-
Improving staff wellbeing and engagement.
-
Making better use of employee volunteering days.
-
Giving your team a rewarding experience outside the workplace.
We then match your people with community and social action projects across South Derbyshire where their time, skills and enthusiasm can make a real difference.
We take care of the detail.
Finding the right volunteering opportunity can take time, and poorly planned volunteering can create as many challenges as it solves.
We manage the process from start to finish. We identify suitable projects, work with community organisations to understand exactly what they need, agree dates and group sizes, and make sure everyone is properly briefed.
We also help with the practical requirements, including risk assessments, safeguarding and project planning, before following up afterwards to understand what was achieved.
The result is straightforward:
Your employees get a rewarding, well-organised volunteering experience. Community organisations get practical support they genuinely need. And your business creates a visible, positive impact locally.
Volunteering that works for everyone.
Our approach is built around one simple principle:
“Corporate volunteering only works well if it works for both organisations.”
We don’t simply place businesses into available volunteering opportunities. We take the time to understand what a community organisation actually needs and match that with what your employees can realistically offer.
That means the projects we broker are wanted, properly matched and carefully planned, so your team’s contribution delivers genuine value and leaves the host organisation better off.
Make your volunteering count.
You already have the willingness to help. We provide the local knowledge, connections and coordination to make it happen.
Whether you have a team ready to volunteer, unused volunteering days, or simply want to explore how your business could support South Derbyshire, our ESVS Service can help you turn good intentions into meaningful local action.
