Our thorough vetting process removes risk by verifying each organisation's legitimacy before they join our programmes.
Employees see only pre-matched, relevant charities and opportunities that align with your company's impact priorities.
We’ve tackled the biggest hurdle to employee volunteering: time. Our research showed that busy schedules are the main barrier - so we’ve built a platform that makes it easy to find flexible opportunities that fit around the working day.
Employees set their availability when selecting opportunities, ensuring volunteer work enhances rather than disrupts their professional responsibilities.
Time-poor employees and remote workers can access hundreds of virtual opportunities - getting involved from home or the office without travel barriers limiting participation.
Employees can give their time all at once or little by little over weeks or months. This flexibility helps more people get involved, no matter how busy their schedules are.
Employees can share their skills in areas like social media, data analysis or legal support - offering the kind of expert help charities often really need.
Our comprehensive reporting delivers extractable social and environmental impact data across locations and metrics - perfect for board presentations and sustainability reports.
No need to wait for quarterly reports to measure success. Live data shows your programme's business value and community impact simultaneously, with social calculations updating in real-time.
Our detailed categorisation shows precisely which impact themes your team is tackling - from food poverty to skills development.
By aligning with UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), your team’s time contributes to a bigger global picture - giving your community work international weight and recognition.
After each event, employees share how the experience felt. These insights help you understand what’s working, boost engagement and show the value of volunteering beyond just numbers.
Your employees can nominate charities they have a connection with, increasing engagement with your programme
