Employee Volunteering Explained

Employee Volunteering Explained

Employee Volunteering is when company employees offer their time and expertise for the benefit of local voluntary and community groups during work time with the support of their employer. Volunteering is promoted, encouraged and recognised by the company.

The Basingstoke Employees in the Community Network was launched in May 2007 to promote Employee Volunteering. Numerous local companies and voluntary groups have signed up to the initiative, which matches Employee Volunteers with organisations that need their help. The Network enables local voluntary and community groups to benefit from the skills, expertise and practical assistance available to them on a voluntary basis from local companies. 

Any partner in the Basingstoke area is eligible to join the Network. You will need to have an Employee Volunteering policy in place. Companies starting from scratch can find a vast array of useful information on how to get started on the Volunteering England website

In order to fund the Network and ensure its sustainability and ongoing success it is necessary to charge for Team Challenges, but not for individual skills sharing projects.  If you are a Business and wish to join the Network so you can participate in a Challenge contact Vivien Harrison on 01256 423833 or send an email
