Corporate volunteering (also called employee volunteering) can be defined as workplace-based initiatives where employers provide support or encouragement for its employees to volunteer for the local community.
Corporate volunteering is a way for
businesses or third sector organisations to contribute to the community. They
often encourage their employees to volunteer by allowing paid time off which
they use to volunteer at either a charity of their choice or one nominated by
the employer
If your organisation/business is interested in signing up to Corporate Volunteering but you're not quite sure how to go about it then please contact Frances Barry on 07958 132822 or email frances.barry@vamt.net
Alternatively if your organisation would like a small team of volunteers to help out on a 'one off' basis, for example, painting, gardening or fundraising then again please contact Fran.
Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow when we'll be showing 4 organisations in action, Citizens Advice Merthyr Tydfil, EE, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil.
