Team volunteering

Corporate team volunteering brings employees together to give their time and skills to causes that matter — building connection, purpose and real community impact.

Unlock the true potential of your volunteering programme with our technology

Online or in person, for groups of five all the way to getting the entire company volunteering on the same day across multiple locations, team volunteering is a powerful way to unite colleagues across groups, functions or locations through shared experience.

At Employee Volunteering, we see team volunteering as the bedrock of a meaningful workplace volunteering programme. We’ve been doing it for over 20 years, and the data’s clear: it boosts engagement, wellbeing, team building, culture and even productivity.

Yes, it takes planning — and time away from the day job — but the return is worth it. We’ll help you make it happen and deliver the outcomes that matter.

Corporate volunteering done differently

The benefits of employer supported corporate team volunteering

Strengthens team bonds

Working side by side in a different context helps colleagues connect on a more human level — breaking down silos, building trust, and fostering a stronger sense of belonging.

Brings company purpose to life

Team volunteering is a tangible way to demonstrate your organisation’s values and purpose — showing employees and communities what your business truly stands for.

Sparks fresh thinking

Stepping into new environments and challenges encourages teams to think differently — unlocking creativity, collaboration and problem-solving skills that transfer back to the day job.

Drives cross-functional connection

By bringing together colleagues from different departments or locations, team volunteering builds wider networks and strengthens your internal culture.

Boosts morale and motivation

Doing good together has a positive ripple effect. It uplifts individuals, energises teams and creates a shared sense of achievement that lasts well beyond the day itself.

Delivers real community impact

Whether it’s hands-on help or skilled support, team volunteering creates immediate, visible outcomes for charities and community partners — leaving teams proud of the difference they’ve made.
