An online session helping your team give back, grow their leadership and professional skills, and put volunteer days to meaningful use.

Looking for a genuinely valuable way for your employees to use their volunteer days?

Trusteeship is one of the most powerful forms of skills-based volunteering there is. Your employees give strategic support to a local charity — and in return develop board-level experience, leadership skills and governance knowledge they bring straight back to your business.

It strengthens your social value story too. With social value now a requirement in public sector procurement — and increasingly in corporate supply chains — employees serving as trustees is exactly the kind of genuine, evidenced community impact that stands out in tenders and bids.

This session is a low-commitment first step. In 90 minutes, your team will find out what trusteeship really involves, whether it's right for them, and how to find the right opportunity.

Why offer it to your team:

✔ A meaningful use of employee volunteer days ✔ Structured professional development — certificate of attendance provided ✔ Builds leadership, strategic thinking and governance skills ✔ Strengthens your social value and ESG story with real, evidenced action — including for procurement and tenders ✔ Unlimited places per business — open it up to your whole team
