Employee volunteering could generate £17bn a year for charities
Letting employees volunteer for an average of an hour a week could result in an extra £17 billion a year for charities and community groups, according to research from Pilotlight.
Pilotlight’s report, called Give your culture a workout, is based on surveying of over 4,000 people. It shows a demand from the UK workforce for employers to do more to support skills-based volunteering in the community, and highlights the positive impact this would have on charities and community groups, as well as businesses.
