Companies: Get Involved

Employee Volunteering is when volunteers are supported by their employer, either during work time or their own time. Volunteering is promoted, encouraged and recognised by the company.

If you are looking for a low-budget Team Challenge, volunteering in your community could be the answer. Volunteer Centre Kennet offers a brokerage service to find your challenge, or take advantage of our project management service. There is a small charge for these services; please contact us on 01672 564140 for more details.

Swindon Skills Bank is all about local voluntary groups providing businesses with opportunities to develop their staff, and businesses helping local voluntary groups to improve their service to the community through volunteering individual business skills.

Local companies offer their employee's business skills freely to assist local voluntary organisations. Each task is a one off and will require from 2 hours to a maximum of 20 hours to complete, with no further commitment.

Voluntary organisations offer businesses the opportunity to enhance the skills and development of their employees. They facilitate experience in communication skills, diversity, interpersonal skills, mentoring, business knowledge, creative/alternative thinking and presentation.
